We must get through the cold wet rain
running down our faces, clothes, and clinging
to our cold wet hair and bodies.
We must let the warm brilliant sun
dry up our tears
to reach for our own happiness and dreams.
We must see beyond this
cold bitter rain washing us in filth and the smell of acid
to the smells of fresh grass and daffodils.
We must walk through murky puddles
to get to the playground awaiting us.
We must pray and go beyond ourselves
to help on another through it all.
We must realize today's just one milestone in our lives
and tomorrow's another day.
