A Welcome Change

Sweltered in the sun today;
‘Twas hard to even move.
Being cool was not on tap;
You’d never find your groove.

Raindrops helped a little bit,
But not enough to count.
Humidity did reign and made
Discomfort paramount.

All morning and all afternoon,
Non-stop we all complained.
Despite the water we did drink,
Our cranky moods remained.

Until tonight – for suddenly
The air was fresh and breezy.
Stopping all that kvetching then
Was well-deserved and easy.

When I got home I quickly ran
And shut off the A/C.
The open windows let the coolness
Waft right over me.

The weather is a lot like life:
There’s suffering and pleasure.
When Mother Nature sends relief,
It’s something we must treasure.
