Another poem by Andre Ball
Once again not a perfect one but something I'm working on:
The sun is out, and the birds are chirping
Like the spring, my life is in full bloom
Everything seems to be going my way,
Thought that this goodness would never end soon
Then suddenly coming from behind me
That familiar feeling of hurt and pain
Comes over me just like dark clouds
And the sunshine is replaced with rain
It doesn't just rain, but snows
My heart feels the chill once more
The happiness is gone again
And once again, I'm laying on the floor
I reach out and plead to God
"Why can't anythng be right?"
And as if God didn't hesitate to answer
I look forward and see into a narrow light
In this light was a flower, untouched by the darkness
And it's petals unharmed by the snow
And I knew it's meaning as soon as I found it
That God had given me some hope
The sun is out, and the birds are chirping
Like the spring, my life is in full bloom
Everything seems to be going my way,
Thought that this goodness would never end soon
Then suddenly coming from behind me
That familiar feeling of hurt and pain
Comes over me just like dark clouds
And the sunshine is replaced with rain
It doesn't just rain, but snows
My heart feels the chill once more
The happiness is gone again
And once again, I'm laying on the floor
I reach out and plead to God
"Why can't anythng be right?"
And as if God didn't hesitate to answer
I look forward and see into a narrow light
In this light was a flower, untouched by the darkness
And it's petals unharmed by the snow
And I knew it's meaning as soon as I found it
That God had given me some hope
