Raindrops keep falling

Transition to Retrement

Raindrops keep falling

The parched earth, so thirsty and dry

Longing for rain to fall from the sky

And after days of waiting in vain

Comes the sweet scent of rain

The first drops fall, a gentle sound

Pattering softly on the ground

And as the rain picks up its pace

The air fills with its fresh embrace

Petrichor rises, a fragrance divine

Aromas of earth, wet and fine

A scent so pure, so crisp, so clean

As if nature has just awoken from a dream

The rain pours down, a symphony of sound

Reviving the land, and all around

Nature breathes a sigh of relief

As the rain brings comfort and peace

And after the storm, the air is pure

The fragrance lingers, forevermore

A reminder of the rain's sweet grace

And the wonders it can bring to this place
