Yesterday, it was a nice beautiful
Gorgeous sunny beach day,
Children and adults were playing;
All around the neighborhood.
Someone said, ‘we may see
strawberry moon tonight’,
‘But how about tomorrow’?
Someone asked.
‘It’s going to be cloudy, rainy
and expecting Thunderstorm
like our life’.
But I said ‘grass, plants and small trees
Need a loving touch of rain’.
