Days Without Umbrellas

Sometimes we wonder what to do,
In those stormy days, when the rain doesn’t stop,
The time that keeps going endlessly.
Under the light, everything looks grey,
We have to just make do with what we have.
Even if it’s hard, everything doesn’t have to end,
Sometimes we feel like it's too much,
The things that we lost-
We can get them back,
To make the bitter days become sweet again,
Standing in front of this dreamy scenery,
Until the blue sky reveals itself.
Don’t cry, just smile for tonight!
The sky changes colours prettily,
I'll bring an umbrella next time,
It’ll be okay.
