And you're left out in the rain
If you are searching for a rainbow,
But the colors bring you pain,
If your world is not revolving
And there is no end in sight
If you are looking for the sunshine
But all you see is night,
If all around are smiling
But all you can do is frown
If you are tired of all this living
When life just brings you down.
Then look beyond your teardrops
At the wonders of this land,
The beauty of a flower
Like velvet in your hand.
Feel the air around you,
The smell of new mown hay
Laughing children in the park
The innocence there at play.
Imagine floating with a butterfly
As she flutters between the trees,
Or the whisper of the ocean
On warm hot summers breeze.
Think of the taste of candy floss
As it melts upon your tongue,
Or the melody of morning birds
As they greet each day with song.
Remember words of beauty,
Told in your mothers embrace,
Feel the gentleness of her touch
As she softly kissed your face.
Seek the good within you,
Cast the clouds from your sky,
Don't look towards the pavement,
But hold your head up high.
Thank not what life owes you,
But at all you have to give
Forget about tomorrow,
Then you can start to live.
So Bless this age you are living
With the gifts you can bestow,
Don't disregard the stream of life
Go gently with the flow.
