Lord,
       when you send the rain,
       think about it, please,
       a little?
  Do
       not get carried away
       by the sound of falling water,
       the marvelous light
       on the falling water.
   I
       am beneath that water.
       It falls with great force
       and the light
Blinds
       me to the light.

Written by James Baldwin (1924-1987)
