It’s Up to Me
Virginia Salter

partly cloudy
that’s what they said
well, we’ve the cloudy
and they’ve the partly
I think it’s back to bed

I need some sunshine
I need it fast
this gloom of day
it must not last

the hour’s long
and I am short
to face this time
I’ve strong retort

but, then, again
I must admit
it’s better than
a sky that spits

when I need to walk
it’s for my health
a thriving body
is one’s true wealth

so somewhere deep
where sunshine creeps
down in my heart
I’ll find a spark

to face this day
with wondrous glee
the sky’s no help
it’s up to me!

Yep!  Even on bright, sunny days, it's up to me to see them for what they are.  Thanks for taking time to read and comment.
