The little cloud that cried

He certainly wasn't popular

with the other clouds

in the sky

as the little grey cloud

had a predispostion

to cry.

The other clouds were soft

and pillowly

and covered in white

and it left the little grey cloud

feeling

a bit uptight.

He kept to himself

and on sunny days

he hid

for it was an inferiority complex

in which

he slid.

The other clouds called him a baby

and a precipitation

of pain

as their days

would be spoiled

by his constant rain.

If a social pariah and loser

was his lot

in life

how could he overcome

his anxiety

and ease his strife?

Luckily,

Mother Nature

must have a balance too

where equal amounts

of rain

were overdue.

The little grey cloud

had a reason

to cry

or else the crops

and the flowers

would all just die.

The sun would come back

to do

his thing

and the harmony

allowed the green grass of summer

to openly sing.

So please cheer up

little cloud

of grey.

For you are

most beautiful

in your own way.

It's important

that you exist

and prove your worth

to keep

everything growing

on planet earth.
