Don't spend your time waiting for the storm to pass. Instead, learn to dance in the rain.

Saffron glow,

Ocean tears,

Crisp air,

Watch the years.


The first step,

A tiny soul,

Learning what the world,

Has to behold.


You are so young,

Just learned to walk,

Toddle, toddle,

Pause and stop.


Look around,

See the faces.

You're in the world,

To fill the spaces.
