The Clouds

By Peace Nkeiruka Maduako

The clouds they dance,
They dance in patterns of white,
They drift from here to there
And act like we're not there.

The clouds they dance,
They dance and call a name,
And if the name is yours
The day it's yours to keep.

The clouds they dance,
They dance for us to see
That life is all you dream
And then wake up to see.

The clouds they dance,
They send down the rain
For us to be together,
And act like we don't care.

The clouds they dance,
They dance and look around,
And when you don't look above,
They give way for the sun.

The clouds they dance,
They wish that we could
Sometime thank the Lord
For all they are to us.
