The weather wasn’t pleasant
It was gray and cold
No precipitation and no wind
The sun was nowhere to be found
This can’t be it was the cry
We have had enough, but
Are not willing to trade our
Souls for a streak of great weather
So we waited and thought
What can we do? The answer came
Look for beauty amongst the gloom
It is there but it takes some time to
Locate. What will make us feel good
Cars and trucks are buzzing by on
The well-kept highway. We wonder
Where are they heading and what
Their attitude is about life in this
Dismal state of being. Some may be
Angry because of the traffic, but
Others are full of love, joy, peace,
Patience, kindness, generosity,
faithfulness, gratitude, gentleness
and self-control. They keep their
peevishness hidden id it existed
at all. The disgruntled looked at
each other with solemnity. They
knew their attitudes had been changed
and were going to make them
better people. The wound up praising
the sleet and gray clouds. They knew
the sun would eventually show.
