The day is filled with joy and laughter

Children are running around the compound with careless abandon

The women of the house roam the garden and stop to smell the flowers

The drizzling rain envelops leaves

 

The rain increases its intensity and turns into a torrent

It cleans the gutters and clears debris from the carnal

The grasses are wet and drip with water

Car drivers slow to a trot

 

Soon, the classes are over

Teachers and pupils shout for joy

After the rain emerges sunshine

The sun peeps behind balls of clouds

 

Chicken soup stews in the kitchen

Its aroma wafting through the air

Aha, chicken soup drives the cold away

It is just another ideal day
