A Blue-Gray Sky by Wayne Scheer

A Blue-Gray Sky

The blue-gray summer sky

hints at a bright, sunny day

and a heavy rain,

like a child

laughing and crying

one moment to the next,

or a friend,

who played third base

on our Sunday softball team,

now, a blink of the eye,

and he relies on a cane

to walk upright.
