SILVER LININGS

I’m waiting for the silver lining.

I search the skies, every day,

but all I see is rain.

Every person that I meet,

says every cloud has a silver lining,

all I need is faith.

Or patience.

Or time.

Or whatever it is they feel I need,

to help me see the silver lining

in the cloud above my head.

I listened to them patiently

as they try to make me see

that my situation’s not the problem,

it’s just my doubt that is.

Eventually, no silver lining

miraculously appeared,

so I decided I’d be better off

to buy new wellingtons

instead.
