The clouds are thick and heavy

the sun has no exit to shine

But soon I'll have your presence

and the sun will again be mine

 

The birds are noticeably silent

Their songs emit no sound

But soon I'll have your presence

and the music will once more abound

 

The stream has lost its flowing

No cascading as it should

But soon I'll have your presence

rippling water -As I knew it would

 

The world so filled with turmoil

My heart wants it to end

But soon I'll have your presence

And part of my heart will mend

 

No matter how my day starts

No matter the cares and woes

As soon as I have your presence

I'll soar to heights - no lows
