Raindrops falling upon my head

I could count them one after another

So weak and timid when they fall alone

But so powerful, when they join each other.

As one raindrop will fill a puddle

Two raindrop’s will fill a sea

Three raindrop’s will fill an ocean

Four raindrop’s will drown, both you and me.

I saw a woman who was sadly crying

I watched the tears come down her cheek

I then watched her sadness become a smile

Though she found the comfort that she did seek.

As one teardrop will clear your mind

Two teardrop’s will cleanse your soul

Three teardrop’s will clear your memory

Four teardrop’s, and you will let anyone go.

I walked upon the morning lawn

And a welcomed surprise came upon my feet

Dampness was left upon the glistening plants

Once again mother nature had left that treat.

As one dewdrop will moisten a blade of grass

Two dewdrop’s will tease a flower

Three dewdrop’s will feed a plant

Four dewdrop’s will tempt a lawn for a shower.

Drops of water as they come into our life

Some in volume but then some one at a time

Sometimes they seem the question to an answer

Or maybe a riddle and that would be the only sign.

As one drop is so that we will take notice

Two drops to make sure that we are aware

Three drops so we will pay close attention 

Four drops to know, that they are there.
