Just then the sun broke through the clouds |
I was walking in the rain today and getting soaking wet, reflecting on the life I’ve had and people I have met. Some of them were friends of mine, some I may have wronged. I hoped they can forgive me now; it’s been so very long. Some I never knew too well. I didn’t take the time. and when I think about that now, that was my biggest crime. I had some days of glory, too, but some that I regret . I still remember dear ones lost. No, those I won't forget. I’d wandered for some hours then, got drenched right to the bone. Damned if I knew where I was. I should have brought my phone. Just then the sun broke through the clouds; the sky was getting light. I saw a rainbow in the east - that made me feel alright. My mood had shifted with the clouds. The sunshine made me smile. In fact, I felt much better than I had in quite a while. I’ve had a long and fruitful life with many happy years. The good times and the blessings far outnumbered any tears. I turned around and headed home, just glad to be alive. In spite of all the ups and downs, I did somehow survive. I made a promise to myself to make more time for friends. And if I had wronged anyone? Well, I’d have to make amends. You only get one time around so you’d better do it right. Get past the dark and rainy days; embrace the warming light. Yes, even on a rainy day with dark clouds all around, maybe if you have some luck a rainbow can be found. |
