Silver Linings by Mike Williams 04/16/2016 @ 8:11 P.M.

Every cloud has a silver lining, 
Though I haven't found mine yet. 
And though it seems like whining, 
I reflect upon my life's regret. 

For through the pain and sorrow, 
Beneath spring floods and winter snow. 
I keep holding out for tomorrow, 
While the world ignores me so. 

Bleak it all seems right now, 
Alone I carry on in my strife. 
The earth keeps on turning somehow, 
Despite the unhappiness of my life. 

Whatever the future may still hold, 
Perhaps this reason I remain yet endowed. 
Searching silver linings within the fold, 
Of every dark and dreary cloud.
