A Torrential Downpour
A torrential downpour
on a bright and sunny day
as tears rained from her eyes;
Darkened shadows enveloped her
Although above her were cloudless skies
Sadness hits much harder
when all around you
is bright and gay;
A diagnosis of terminal cancer
Received on a summer’s day
She didn’t tell her husband
Or her children about the pain
She went to the doctors by herself
Hoping her worries were just in vain
The sun shines bright
Little children play
Flowers’ scents fill the air;
All alone
Contemplating what’s next
Her soul full of despair
A torrential downpour
On a bright and sunny day
She
wipes
her
tears
away.
