Almost Never

When those gray clouds gather up
and hide the bright,warm sun...
almost never
I take along my umbrella and raincoat;
almost never
I let my worries build up...
oh,a rainbow never fails to appear
on the peaceful horizon!

When I'm feeling the weight of stress,
I turn to happy thoughts
that seem to share my real visions...
soon to become the only strength
of my undying hope;
a hope going beyond all awareness!

Almost never
I give into hopelessness
or to useless anger and fright,
believing that forgiveness
is simply another prayer;
almost never 
I  lose heart
and forget to care!
