Drought

Everything was so hollow,

there was no food to swallow.

The farm was dry

as the land began to fry.

We had no crops,

I wished this drought would stop.

The water tank was low,

I hoped we didn't have to go.

The animals were hungry

they just wanted to be let free.

No food in sight

while resources were tight.

I woke up in the middle of the night

with a big fright,

it came with a delight,

it was the best ever sight.

Pouring rain,

flowing water, there is hope again.

Mum and Dad were laughing and cheering,

all of their fears disappearing.
