A Rainy Morn With Rusty

 


A Rainy Morn With Rusty

By George Thurlow 

©️4/8/22


Trills and twitters, pitter-patter  

Musically announce the morn,

April shower splashes

Forbidding a vibrant dawn.


Tapping, pinging, drumming

The precipitation pours,

Rusty beats a haste retreat

Speedily from the door.


With leash in hand I persuade him

Through the puddles and the damp,

“Do your morning business

Come on you’re a champ.”


With the promise of a doggy ride

He’s suddenly not deterred,

Soon jumping in my pick-up

Shaking off his fur.


Ezekiel 34:26

“And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.”
