The Transformation
 
When the clouds obscure the sky,
     And the world seems all awry;
And the rain comes pouring down,
     And there’s trouble all around;
When someone speaks a word unkind,
     And worries seem to fill the mind;
When my thoughts are very blue
     Because there’s so much to do;
I place a smile upon my face
     And note the change that’s taking place.
 
The clouds just seem to fade away,
     The world and all around seems gay;
The rains have washed the face of earth,
     Revealing much that is of worth;
And other faces seem to shine
     Into the smiling face of mine;
The task that seemed so hard to do
     Was quickly done, and better, too;
The world seemed happier to be
     Because there was a smile on me.
