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.
