Mixed feelings


Seen through the rain, the tiny flags 
An inviting burst of color 
Against the relentless gray. 
However much I’m grateful, 
On behalf of the wildfire fighters 
And my thirsty yard and garden 
For these showers, 
I’m still hoping that the sunshine will return 
And sad for all the summer events 
Whose attendance is reduced 
On account of the weather.
