If the Sky Could Cry

I heard once that when it rains, it’s like the sky is crying. But for who? For what? Why?

It makes me think of all those tears shed around the world, by people who despritaly need a hug and be told, “It’s all right.”

When I heard that saying and thought those thoughts, it made me wish one thing. That if the skies could cry, that they would cry once for everyone. So that no one would cry ever again. And that maybe when a raindbow would show, it be a signed that everything was really all right.

But that is the thing. There will always be something to cry about. And until you find the right shoulder to dry on, you’ll always be in darkness.

There was a time when I thought I would never stop. I thought the world was crashing down. But then my rainbow came out, and I’m all better now.

Many people cry, but all for one reason…we cry because the sky cannot cry for us…and if it could, think how it would be.

If only the sky could cry. Oh, if the sky could cry instead of us.
