Blue Sky

Presented a perfect day

Where people, birds and animals

Enjoyed it their way

~

In the clear, warm breeze

The leaves softly applauded

As the bees hummed a hymn

The flower heads nodded

~

At the perfect day

Brought by Blue Sky

Who quickly took notice

As fair-weather clouds passed by

~

They cast a shadow or two

Across Blue Sky’s wary eye

Then caught a ride on Wind’s gust

Before a cordial goodbye

~

Then on the horizon

Darkness appeared

With a distant rumble that echoed

What the weathermen feared

~

Storm could be over

By mid-afternoon

But if luck would have it

Blue Sky may resume

~

With a howl

Storm’s clouds charged in

As all creatures prepared

For Storm’s rage to begin

~

With an ominous roar

Rain poured heavily down

Lightening flashed

And smiles turned to frowns

~

Storm lasted but a moment

In an almost perfect day

As spots of blue were seen

As Storm’s clouds parted ways

~

With a little help from Sun

Blue Sky again ruled the day

And as a welcome guest

Rainbow came out to play

~

As everyone stopped to enjoy

This special display

Proving even storms are necessary

For a truly perfect day
