Joy

A shower starts pouring down from the sky above A joyous child hurries outside with his umbrella in hand With a grin on his face, he rushes outside while his mother smiles The mother says her little Joy finds joy when it rains For despite the dark clouds and loud thunders He knows that there is always a silver lining For what lies beyond the dark clouds and depressing weather Lies an array of colours for the eyes to feast Signaling a promise long ago from above That says there will no longer be any flood and peace will stay Oh what joy! Joy shouts out to the skies above. -24/09/17
