The day is filled with joy and laughter<\/p>\n
Children are running around the compound with careless abandon<\/p>\n
The women of the house roam the garden and stop to smell the flowers<\/p>\n
The drizzling rain envelops leaves<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The rain increases its intensity and turns into a torrent<\/p>\n
It cleans the gutters and clears debris from the carnal<\/p>\n
The grasses are wet and drip with water<\/p>\n
Car drivers slow to a trot<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Soon, the classes are over<\/p>\n
Teachers and pupils shout for joy<\/p>\n
After the rain emerges sunshine<\/p>\n
The sun peeps behind balls of clouds<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chicken soup stews in the kitchen<\/p>\n
Its aroma wafting through the air<\/p>\n
Aha, chicken soup drives the cold away<\/p>\n
It is just another ideal day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
