I'm standing here inside
So much warmth is around me
My gaze it turns outside
As I see this is not the place to be

The birds they dodge the showers
As they desperately search for food
Oh, how I wish for the sun
To take away my sad, dark mood

Wattle birds and sparrows
The blackbirds have come too
No longer does the sun
Brighten up their view

A dull and dreary day
With no color anywhere in sight
Oh, how this drab day shows
Not much difference between day and night

My mood it always changes
When there's no sun to light my face
The type of day for feeling low
Where tears leave a glistening trace

The only way to be happy
Is to reach deep inside my heart
Where I know I store sweet memories of you
Here inside me, they'll never part

My face it begins to smile
As I think of you this day
And I know that all too soon
My dark clouds will go away

I'll replace them with only sunshine
Of treasured times that we did spend
And I know that in this heart of mine
My love for you will never end

How great is love? How great is this piece? You utilize wonderful imagery and writing ability that I envy greatly. Wonderful.

Sue,

I like how this one started off so gloomily, only to be turned completely around in mood by looking within yourself.  Wonderful, my friend.
