Wait for a Storm

It is not wise to count your friends

on a bright sunny day.

When the sky is blue

and smiles come so easliy.

 

Instead wait for a storm,

when the clouds are dark

and the day grows cold.

Laughter is not heard

in your heavy heart.

 

Then when a friend comes

and stands beside you

and lifts your spirits to the sky

and laughter is in your heart,

he or she deserves the name...friend.

 

Thank you, my Friend,

for braving the storms with me

and for making the sunny days

so much brighter.
