MANY SHADES OF GRAY

There are the whitecaps

And the green of the pines

Brown ground with grass

Everything else is gray

Wind is blowing, actually

Roaring and it is difficult to

Stand up. People wonder

What happened to easter

It came and it went in a

Shade of gray. Now we are

Waiting for May. There has

To be a change. We need

Sunshine to dry out the ground

It is raining now with hardly

A sound. Early vacationers

Are disappointed and who

Can blame them. Their play

Toys are wet. They thought

They had made a safe bet

But disappointment affects

Us all at times. There are

People who have it much

Worse. Times will change

We will all be happy
