I smile
I don’t know why
People in their cars stare as they drive by
I think about what I’ve had in life
And things that used to mean so much to me
I look at what I’m left with now
Not but a handful I see
Friends and friends I used to know
Times and places, now just lost faces
Hopes and dreams and young people things
Left now in reality’s hands, just traces
Times have changed and times are strange
And I’m a whole different person than I thought I’d be
But I’m realizing that, that handful
Is more than enough to fulfill me
For, the small number of good things I have
Grow bigger with meaning and depth each day
Then I smile as I realize
That the rain always goes away. . .
