The Wind was taking a break today
Unlike the gust it blew in when it came out to play
But that was then – a long time away –
Today it lay quiet with nothing to say
What’s up; I asked - the Wind didn’t reply
I pushed and I prodded, I tried and I tried
But the Wind just lay there - his arms on his head
The Wind just lay there like he was in bed
The Sun was busy heating the day
The Clouds brought Shade so the children could play
They played on the slides and in the park under Shade
But Sun thought to himself; what’s missing today
The children had left their kites (lonely) at home
Cos they were not able to fly high on their own
For without the Wind over houses and trees
Their kites couldn’t travel, couldn’t fly as they please
The Birds were chirping at rest on the fence
And on the bough of the tree there were crows counting three
They squawked and hollered so they could be heard
Whilst the Wind lay there silent ignoring the Birds
Not even the Breeze could put in a show
She had left Wind alone a long time ago
Sun lost his smile and faded away
As Rain from dark clouds threatened to stay
The Rain stayed in the Clouds through the afternoon
But decided to leave as the Sun and the Moon
Came back together as twilight appeared
Yet the Wind stayed so quiet just as I'd feared
The children went home after playing all day
And told their parents what I wouldn’t say
That the Wind hadn’t come under Sun by the sea
Their cool breeze was lost – oh where could it be
For no matter the weather come Rain or come Sun
When I went to the pier the Wind always would come
To spread a Breeze and keep us all cool
On the pier by the sea – it was our Golden Rule
The Birds and the Sun and the Cloud and the Moon
All prayed for the Wind to come play again soon
As the sea and the pier and the trees love a breeze
Raising our arms - spreading Cheerful with ease.
