is realize there are some things you can’t control.
No matter what you do,
the storms of life are going to come.
Sometimes they will build up slowly
rumbling and grumbling in the distance,
but you know they are coming.
Sometimes they will strike quickly without warning,
with flashes of lightening and thunderous claps.
Either way, you can stand there in the downpour,
wet, discouraged, and perhaps afraid,
or you can get yourself an
UMBRELLA,
a symbol of protection,
open it up,
….”hold your head up high,
…and walk on through the wind,
walk on through the rain,
tho’ your dreams may be tossed and blown,
….walk on, walk on,
with hope in your heart,
and you’ll never walk alone,
you’ll NEVER walk alone.”
What comfort it is to own and use an
UMBRELLA.

Oh the times I have sung that song. If I can’t sing it, I hum it, but it’s gotten me through a number of “umbrella” moments. In my opinion, it works with a sturdy umbrella up, down, or not around at all. It’s the HOPE that keeps me from getting drenched!!!
