August Clouds

The August clouds are lovely;

they float there in the sky

They seem to say,"We're passing, folks,

--just really passing by!"

Those rains will come next month, you know,

Right now...enjoy that sky -

Those lovely, fluffy, August clouds,

While they are passing by!

We are like those clouds, I think,

So let us really try,

To see the beauty in us all,

While we are passing by!

By Sophie Jean Wilson, 1994
