GLOOM AND MORE GLOOM

It was supposed to be a cloudy day, not a gloomy day.  I need to get a lot of things done, but my pre-packaged box of ambition is out-dated and I need a new box.  Maybe if the sun starts to shine...I will, too.  Or maybe a shot of Miracle Grow in my morning coffee will get me up and started.   Yes, I have been lazy all day.

PERHAPS

***

Perhaps the rain will fall today

And spoil the plans we've made.

The clouds may chase the sun away

Or dampen our parade.

***

Perhaps today a tear will fall

As teardrops often do

When unforeseen the heartaches call

And take a toll on you.

***

Perhaps these things will come to pass

For life goes up and down,

But God shall send you greener grass

When yours has turned to brown.

***

For every drop of rain that falls

A flower somewhere grows

As seasons change and time recalls

The beauty of the rose.

I looked at the local papers and saw that there were three tornadoes spotted in the area, but most of the damage was caused by high winds and trees falling.  "There is a silver lining in every cloud"...or so it is said.
