Summer rains trickle
Summer rains trickle

from a light gray sky

the coolness it brings

sets my heart to fly.


Birds sing such sweetness

in the overcast morn

and I praise my Creator

for the day I was born.


Stirred by a soft breeze

rain slips from the trees

falling to ground

with scarcely a sound.


Surrounded by ocean

and coastlines of sand

I dwell here on earth

in a heavenly land.


This is New Zealand

the land that I love

given in glory

from my Father above


He is the one

Who created it all

He chose me to live here

before I was formed.


If you come visit

remember one thing

we all should sing praises

to Jesus the King.

    Curm, thank you. I am glad that you like it. That means so much. Thank you. May the Lord's blessing be upon you.

    Janice, I find it hard to believe it's winter over there. How I'd love to have the means to travel and see this world.
