To Happier Weather...

Tell us a story
      of times yet begun,
of battle and glory,
      of races to run.

Fill it with laughter,
      with joy and delight;
and shortly thereafter,
      with sadness and plight.

Set us to worry
      and fear for the worst;
make our thoughts hurried
      of torment reversed.

Bring all back together,
      our tensions worthwhile.
To happier weather!
      and tears with our smiles.
