Behind the Clouds
The sun is playing hide and seek
Behind some fluffy clouds
Which makes it slightly overcast
And keeps away the crowds.
The temperature's a little cool,
Quite pleasant on the beach.
I slather on some sunblock
Just in case the rays can reach.
I'm sure that soon the sky will clear
And sunshine will pour down;
Then all the worshipers will flock
To have their skin turn brown.
This hiding game's a lot like life -
Within the atmosphere
There always lurks a coat of clouds
Until they disappear.
Our days are filled with obstacles
Impeding joy and fun;
But oftentimes the clouds will part
And offer us some sun.
