Each of us is like one drop of rain,
A single splatter on the thirsty sand.
Remember, though, that drops fall not alone,
The products and producers of a grand
Harmony that waters well the plain.
Do not think, then, that you're on your own,
A tiny drop upon a dying land.
You are a storm, whose green fields will remain.

That is quite a force. :-) Pray I am found worthy to be considered to be rain. :-)
I like it you write rhythmically and with with end rhymes. And I wonder how you manage to get five stanzas in each line. That is not easy. You are good.
By the way I write poems myself, but in English as my second language. I have written a short poem with quite the same theme:
JUST LIKE THAT
Raindrops reading roses ready,
daring dew to diligently
follow function flirting, fairly
bliss by beautify, but bluntly.
:-)
