When I look at cloudsI feel as if they're like us When they're at peace and joy,They wear the happy colorsLike orange, red, and silver And when they're gloomy and sadBecause of holding so much inside them,They turn grey and black And when they can't hold their despair for long,They just fallFall in the form … Continue reading Clouds are like us!
