The skies were gray
And full of rain
Today.
As I drove down the highway,
I looked at both sides
Of the road
All along the way.
While the showers poured over
Each and every thing,
I saw the wet wild flowers
And how their beauty overcame
The rain.
They were not beaten down,
But stood tall and elegant,
Their roots still firmly planted in the ground.
The white lacy clusters of the
Queen Ann’s Lace,
A lovely thing to behold,
Brought a smile to my face,
As I shivered from the cold.
I will never forget today.
I started my journey with a hopeless soul
And found great solace in the wet, muted colors
That dripped around my heart
And made it feel whole.
