Rainy Days

These rainy days come

and go. The water flows

from above. Gray clouds

crowd the sky as the sun

hides. Lightning crackles.

Break me free. Remove

these shackles. Help me

dry off. Keep me close.

Hold me tight. Join me

under my umbrella.

Show me that the rain

will not stay. Tell me

it will go away. Guide me

through the storm. Help

me see a bright future.

Help me push these gray

clouds away. Hold me close.

Let’s watch the weather

change. Let’s look ahead.

The rain will soon stop,

and the pain will lessen.

The sorrow will fade,

and will become a lesson.
