Today I wake to sounds of spitting rain
The welcome rays of sun are missed by all
Dark clouds above show me the sky’s in pain
I miss the streaks of light across my wall

A pear tree buds beneath a sky of gray
It’s bold, white blossoms reach out to the bees
Some bright pink phlox creep out to greet the day
Young birds sing out while nestled in the trees

The rain can’t stop the world from waking up
The rain can’t stop the day from beginning
Animals get ready for their closeup
Plants prepare for the long, rough day ahead

Without the sun, the world seems less aware.
Without the sun, the world seems not to care.
