The day is sober

The cloud cover is low

The beautiful sun

Today will not show

Its welcoming face

To the people of earth

Unaware of its power

Unaware of its worth

It hides behind skies

Thickened and white

This overcast day

Feels as dark as night

When new hope

In the gloominess appears

Rays from the sun

Dry raindrops and tears

From the sad faces

Looking up from below

The people of earth

Bask in a sunny glow

Thankful for little

Thankful for much

The people are thankful

For the sun’s soothing touch
