After Rain

Today 
I'd like to be a nun 
And go and say 
My rosary beneath the trees out there. 
In this shy sun 
The raindrops look like silver beads of prayer. 
So blest 
Am I, I'd like to tell 
God and the rest 
Of heaven-dwellers in the garden there 
All that befell 
Last week. Such gossip is as good as prayer. 
Ah well! 
I have, since I'm no nun, 
No beads to tell, 
And being happy must be all my prayer. 
Yet 'twould be fun 
To walk with God 'neath the wet trees out there.
