The June-March weather they predicted has not really happened.
...it's more like April or March, March weather;-))
Your coat is haggard, ragged
Your face is sullen-gray
And from your cheek the bleak tear falls
…no one wipes it away
We shiver in your presence
You splash beneath our feet
As you un-stopper doleful skies
In sighs upon the street
Ah, you are no show-stopper
Nobody sings your praise
Yet without you would we full-view
The joy of golden days?
At first glance nothing strikes me
As grand, in your façade
But then Someone whispers to me
You are a gift from
God

Ah ... the lessons of those gray days, those that seem to go on without end. Yes, gifts from God, all of them.
