This rain of sorrow that is pouring will lighten,
This daunting wind that howls, won’t frighten,
The floods of your tears will flow away,
The garden’s dead flowers, will be your boquet.
The mountain of used paper, will disenigrate through the night,
The vine of unbearable thoughts wrapped around you, won’t be so tight.
The gloomy clouds that mock you, will go into a hush,
Tomorrow, this land of sturdy agony, will be nothing but mush.

Wait around, turn your frown into a grin,
For I see the sun, in the horizon.

thanks. THe message is when something bad happens to you, to not get to down because things will always clear up/the sun will come out (metaphorically)
