Some Days
Last Thursday--predicted rain for Easter.
I thought about those who climbed to our Red Rocks
for a special sunrise service,
and little ones hunting eggs in newly green grass.
On Friday, they predicted a sunny Sunday morning
but a stormy afternoon.
On Saturday, temps rose to eighty
as predicted.
Windows opened. I wore shorts.
We smelled summer’s perfumed air.
Sunday morning skies invited a walk in the sunshine,
but as predicted, the western skies darkened.
Rain clouds moved toward my side of the city.
I even took a picture of this predicted,
incoming,
needed
rain.
Sprinkles made patterns on the sidewalk,
a few drops glistened on the lilies.
I think I heard them take a sip.
And it stopped.
Yes, the prediction was correct.
They just did not predict
how much.
