Welcome Rain Poem by Babatunde Aremu

Heavens become cloudy
Condensed sky is misty
As the sun is eclipsed
By the moving clouds
Hails of thunder heralds her
Birds sings joyously,
Wild beasts bleat ceaselessly,
Like an expectant mother
The husband awaits her drops
At her arrival heat recedes
Earth rejoice at her drops
We all chorused, its raining
Children run along the streets
Elders discern the season
So, we all bid the rain
To come down to refresh us
Rain Come down to nourish our plants
Come and quench our thirst
Come and water our flocks
Come gently, come gradually
Don't descend too much
Else, we will be wary of thee
