Remind You

May the flowers remind us

why the rain was so necessary

why the clouds obscured the sky

why the sun refused to shine

May our families tell us

how to be happy

how to be kind

how to lead the blind

The sun will stop shining

The flowers will refuse to bloom

and bitter silence will rule the world

So we have to continue to smile

to laugh

to be happy

for it might have to end next week

I hope I reminded you

why your tears are so unnecessary
