Rain Analogy

A Road Gives Form

Thank You in a Sentence

Rain Analogy

It is either a light drizzle,
Or heavy pour,
Ruins every day activities?
Or,
A reminder to stop for a moment,
Hear the sounds as it drops from the sky,
Clear shapes of ovals,
Magnifying the skin,
Hidden meaning when it occurs,
Helps to take a break,
Weather,
Remembering to slow down,
No one can schedule when the rain will come,
9 out of 10,
Meteorologist knows it most of the times
Yet, No human can control it,
But the weather can work to ones advantage,
Reflect,
Relax,
Now, does it still ruin everyday activities?

A Road Gives Form

The beginning seems to be easy,
Towards the end may be difficult,
Yet, never be discouraged,
Triumph,
Disappointments are bound to happen,
When the road becomes a crumbling pavement,
Trials test strengths and abilities,
What is not done today affects tomorrow.
What is done today affects tomorrow.
There, the most important lessons will be learnt.
Take chances,
Take leaps,
The act of encouragement finds ways to reach goals,
While the people close continue to be a part of one's motivations drive.

Thank You in a Sentence

When does the word thank you start?
In the beginning,
In the middle,
Or at the end of a sentence?
I want to tell you what you have done for me,
So, the two words would not start in the middle.
I want to tell you how your heart affected me,
So, the two words would not start at the beginning.
I want to tell you the aftereffect of such devotion,
Does it stand alone?
So, thank you would not be at the end of a sentence.
It could be said at any moment when you hear these words,
It could be said once visibly when reading,
Yet, you have to know that it is mentally said a thousand times over,
For the heart rules us physically, mentally, and emotionally.
— Lillian R. Melendez
