Prayer to the Sun and Rain

She climbed the stairs of stone and light 
To reach the goddess of sun and rain 
She carried a basket of fruits and flowers 
To offer as a token of her pain

She prayed for the end of drought and famine 
That plagued her village for so long 
She begged for mercy and compassion 
And hoped the goddess would hear her song

She said, "O goddess of sun and rain P
lease bless us with your grace 
We need your warmth and water 
To make this land a better place

We have suffered much from hunger and thirst 
We have lost our crops and cattle 
We have buried our elders and children 
We have fought a hopeless battle

Please end this curse that haunts us 
Please restore our hope and joy 
Please send us rain and sunshine 
Please help us heal and grow"

She waited for a sign or answer 
But none came from above 
She felt a tear roll down her cheek 
And wondered if the goddess knew of love

She turned to leave the temple 
But then she heard a sound 
A gentle rumble in the sky 
A drop of water on the ground

She looked up and saw a rainbow 
A bridge of colors bright 
She smiled and thanked the goddess 
For hearing her plight

She ran down the stairs of stone and light 
To share the news with her village 
She sang a song of gratitude 
And dreamed of a better future.
