Healing Rain
I walk outside in rain so drear,
Not one thing my heart holds as dear;
Drops of pain raining down my face
Washing hope from life and love erase.
I lift my eyes to depths of gray
And see a gleam, a sparkling ray.
I laugh inside, how can this be,
That God would mock a wretch like me.
And then I see a line of red
And then of green and violet.
My heart expands in wistful hope,
Perhaps I'll find a way to cope.
Then I recall a wise man said
Let not your soul, your heart go dead.
Life holds the way, look for the signs,
Love never dies; do not resign.
Yet seize the day, uplift your eyes.
The promise there, it rides the skies.
In times of grief so keenly felt
The hope of life is finely held.
