Analogy Of Life Poem by Alan Harrell

If you want to see life's picture
Look up high and view the sky.
Sometimes clear and sometimes cloudy
We know not the reason why.

Yet, in a storm a silver lining
Can be seen when dark clouds fade
If we hope and can be patient
Ours will come in time and place.

We know not when our time's coming
No do we know the place to be
But just as clouds in the sky are changing
So to us a change we'll see.

What we may find within our cloud
May be completely unsuspected,
But rest assured when we have found it
Our whole life will be affected.

We might find out we now have fortune
When our lotto hits the win
Or we may find someone special
Who will soon become a friend.

It matters not to us our fortune
Be wise and use with tender care.
We must accept in gracious wonder
And have great hope, not despair.

Then when another storm should happen
Remember what you saw before.
There'll be another silver lining
Around a cloud, yes, there are more.

So take a look around and see
The rain that falls on you today.
Have faith the sun will shine tomorrow,
The wind will blow the clouds away.
