Ahead

I think there are happy days ahead,

Or at least,

That’s what you said.

When I laid worrying in bed,

Your green eyes told me,

“There are happy days ahead.”

I think there are sunny skies to come,

Autumn days,

With lots of fun.

Because when I felt I could melt away,

Your gentle purr seemed to say,

“There are sunny skies to come.”

I think the clouds will go,

The grass will spout,

Beneath the snow.

Even though I may sigh,

You will always be by my side.

“The clouds, someday,

Will go.”
