Poem
The gray of today The gray of today I was sinking in dismay I was thinking in dismay I was growing gaily and freely Like the grassland so preciously Oh, darling, please – try to understand I’ve been reduced to sand I was once a robust rock…I need your helping hand I’m not myself today as you can see Oh, on and on, I grow like weeds in the grassland Can’t you see I’m not the sparkly sea? I pray that you stay joyous and gay The gray of today The gray of today I wish it would fade away I was glowing like the zealous sun In sunlit glee, I perish suddenly – misfortune has won Oh, dear sunshine, put me at ease for the rest of my life All my life, I’ve been searching for a friend in this world of chaos and strife But, I was lost in a multitude Yet, I had the attitude of gratitude I wasn’t coming across as rude I was nourished off of God’s food Don’t cast me away into the cold, cruel night Oh, I run and run, I gain insight By observing the gray of today To be grief-stricken and alone forever doesn’t give you the right to reject God’s splendorous sight The gray of today The gray of today The black of the night Makes my heart beat with fright I look up at the sky – Where is the sun? Where is the stars that shine and sway? Depression weighs me down this distressed day Why have you gone away? Why? The gray of tomorrow Will come and depart someday But, I won’t fret or shed tears of sorrow Soon, the sun will melt away the outlandish gray of today But, most certainly not today I will try to make out a smile Oh friend of mine – fine! I will run the extra mile For awhile For awhile The gray of today…I let my emptiness show The gray of today…let the blessed breeze blow Some say I reflect its gray tint I believe them and I have a long way to go I’m God’s golden gem – do you get the hint? The gray of today The gray of today Perhaps…the blessed breeze will sweep it all away Say what you wanna say I want the gray of today To fade away
