You are my end
You’re all around me
When the world turns away.

7. Rain in Summer
The season of rain starts from the month of June and it continues till August. The first shower of rain washes away our
seats of hot sunny days, and brings relief from the uneasy summer heat. On a rainy day, we enjoy playing in the rain
getting all wet. Schools remain closed on a rainy day. A normal day comes to a halt because of heavy shower. Vehicles
stop playing on the road. There is water everywhere. Frogs croak on a far off village basin. We sing song of rain and
thank the rain God for the day.

8. Our Beautiful Nature

Nature’s Nature.
Dry and wry
Is the earth, ready to fry anything that
may chance on her?
Try the mortals
However much to quench her
Seedlings thirst.
Cry they as the babe
For their mother nature’s bounteous Rain!
