Verdant
If you want a verdant life (lush, full of life, healthy) There has to be rain Lots of rain
And
Storms
And
Wind
And
Chill
And
Grey
Lots
So that
The grass can grow
Otherwise
All you have
Is a
scorched/dry/barren land/life
There has to be lots of rain Lots
Embrace it
Welcome it
(or)
Put up with it
(at least)
Let it rain
