These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Briolette: "Rainy Days and Wednesdays"

Rainy days and Wednesdays come
to challenge daily tasks with sums,
that feeling down and slightly dumb,
I'd stand with fully drenching face.
I'd hoped to win, but know disgrace.

Rainy days and Wednesdays now
come rolling in to take a bow.
Unquestioned hope is given, how?
The constant dripping of the leaves
brings cooler temps 'neath shelt'ring eaves.

Rainy days and Wednesday's song,
make all the world to sing along.
We brighten life, and right the wrong,
before we give our lungs' last breath
to lay this mortal dust in death.

Rainy days and Wednesdays gone
when lasting Day is seen as dawn.
The greenest grass of His great lawn
assuages ev'ry earthly fear
to make this dusty life most clear.

Rainy days and Wednesdays' test
becomes eternally the Blest
to lean upon the Master's breast,
and know His lasting Hope and Joy
to ev'ry redeemed girl and boy.
