When the Sun Comes Out

Not a cloud in the sky,
not a raindrop in sight.
No storms to bring me down.

But what is this?
A torrential downpour
heading in my direction.

I've braced myself
for what's ought to be,
an end to the perfect day.

The sun appears through it all,
almost as if hearing my thoughts,
and all I can do is embrace it.

I bask in all the sun's glory,
with an endless smile on my face.
Not knowing what will happen next.

But being thankful for the miracle.
The witnessing of a better day.
When the sun comes out.

And with that one moment, it takes all my problems away.
