The Weather



The weather is about people 
It’s about a sunny day with people 
It’s about a photograph with people
With people and birds and memories. 
With people and birds and memories, hellos
Or goodbyes.

The weather is about feelings 
Cold days, blue days, grey days, with feelings 
And birds and umbrellas and gloves and scarves 
And skating on thin ice but waiting for the sun 
Helping someone up, with birds and memories, 
Hellos or goodbyes. 

The weather is about courage 
It’s about lions and zebras and the wild 
It’s about feeling the heat, the fire, survival 
Protection and pain with….
People, with feelings, with courage. 

The weather is about you 
It’s about waistcoats and raincoats 
Boots or sandals, socks or none, 
About singing in the rain, dancing in 
The sun or braving the snow, 
It’s about people and feelings and courage 
and you. 
Take the weather with you 
Take it, like that.
