When I peeped through the window at play
I saw it's just another rainy day;
People passed me covered with Macs
Boots hitting the soddy ground with cracks
The earth was full of damp puddles
The sky was a dark ditch-grey.
And still I saw, through the cloudy mist-
The cloud with the silver lining.
Because-you know-I'm sure I saw
The sun-the beautiful sun- was still shining.
I saw the old aunties-white haired women pass by
Grumbling at their muddy shoes
I saw the gentlemen stride past; their faces grave
Still suffering from office blues
I saw the middle aged mothers come by, displeased
Thinking about the washing line-
The clothes all flying loose.
And still I saw-through the drippy wires
The delighted children at play, all smiling,
Because-you know-I'm sure I saw
The sun-the beautiful sun- was still shining.
And though I knew- it had just rained a bit too much
And tempers were on edge
And heard the screams of mothers wild
As the soaked clothes lay- windswept
On the hedge.
And the Earth was all soddy-
Soddy mud
The sky was a dark-ditch grey
And yet I knew
As I pulled back the blinds
It was still-
A beautiful Day.
The sky was a dark-ditch grey And yet I knew As I pulled back the blinds It was still- A beautiful Day... always finding the positive in life. very nice poem. tony
