"...forfeit the grace that could be theirs..."



They will stop laughing
When the first drop from the heavens
Fall from the endless skies above

They will stop laughing
When they hear the pitter patter of the rain
Bringing the days of the floods along

They will stop laughing
When they tread in waters and mud
When water rushes down the slopes

They will stop laughing
When the water exceeds the rooftops

They will stop laughing
They will stop being merry

I love it! It speaks of the ancient past and the future or maybe even the present in certain places.
