Sitting on the veranda with my legs crossed
I simply didn't feel happy
Almost everything seemed like it was going wrong
Like the lyrics of a sad, sad song
The wind blew lightly
As though it wanted to comfort me
It felt good for a while
But it soon left to comfort someone else

I looked to the sun for comfort
But it stared back
As brightly as ever
As though nothing mattered

I looked onto the ground
And there lay this one fragile looking yellow flower
It had dropped from where it belonged
Lying on the grass, looking so forlorn
I picked it up
Between my thumb and my finger
It wasn't at all dirty
Rather, it had blossomed quite prettily
The ground suddenly became dark
I looked up
And saw a huge black cloud
I got up to go back in

The sun was gone
The cloud was there
Just like the problems I had
It was there without any answers
I turned my back to walk in
It became bright again
The cloud had passed
The sun stared back at me once more

I smiled and tucked the flower behind my ear
Because I knew
My problems would have their answers soon
Like the sun that came out
:)
