Realizations

Yesterday the clouds came
It rained all day and all night
And everything hid in shame
Dripping, gloomy, devoid of light...

Yesterday, the sun didn't shine
The trees blocked out the light,
I thought I'd lost my mind--
My goals drifting out of sight.

Yesterday, I didn't see beauty
Lurking in corners dark,
Or understand purpose and duty
Of setbacks, the beginning spark.

Yesterday I didn't understand
The clouds proceed the sun,
Things don't go according to plan,
But the game can still be won.
