Umbrella Sunshine

She walks in the rain

listening to others complain

as they make their dash

under lightening’s flash

that the day is so dreary

and how they grow weary

of endless days without sun.

  

She thinks oh how silly

their moods are so chilly

when yesterday they complained

of too many days without rain.

She is not amused

to have her ears so abused

by those who just wish to grumble.

For her the day is just grand

because of the sunshine in her hand,

a yellow umbrella with wings

that makes her heart sing.

Under it the sky is brighter

and her footsteps much lighter

as she walks with praise instead of complaint.
