Sunny side up

Summer is here at last

Time to brighten up and shine

Spring made his colors and passed

All is ripe and is now mine

 

It is time to roam around free

After the long imprisoning winter

The season to go on an energy spree

And remove that cold splinter

 

Yet the clouds linger around

Covering up our shining sun

Blocking the clear sky and dry ground

With rain falling as if from a gun

 

Yet the weather is still warm

With no wind to scatter the rain

This whole thing deviates from the norm

And makes it hard to stay sane

 

But every now and then

A ray of sun shines through

Although you don’t know exactly when

 It still takes away all the blue

 

So keep your eyes to the sky

Always stay on the lookout

Don’t let that ray of hope pass you by

And let the light spread out

 

For it starts with a ray

Then all becomes bright

Patience is the way

To get to your mind’s delight

 

Bit by bit the clouds disappear

Making way for a new start

That is when things become clear

And you enjoy the colors in your heart
