Weathering Storms: Finding Joy in Small Moments
Lyrics
Waking early
Beginning the day early
Moving quickly
Moving with speed or urgency
Just in time to see morning glories
Witnessing morning glories in their full bloom
They're in bloom now
Confirmation of the current state of the flowers being in bloom
A neighbor told me
Learning from a neighbor about the importance of observing small details
That it helps to notice the small things
The advice received about noticing small things
Taking time out
Pausing from the usual activities
Taking shelter
Finding refuge or protection from adverse conditions
To wait out this inclimate weather
Waiting until the bad weather passes
And when you hold me
Feeling embraced or held by someone
It's so much better
The experience of being held significantly improves the situation
It's enough to drown out the thunder
The positive feeling from being held overwhelms the negative impact of thunder (metaphorically)
It's a still life
Observing a tranquil scene
At my window
Personally experiencing the scene from the window
Sipping coffee
Enjoying a moment with a cup of coffee
Watching the birds go
Watching birds in motion
But is it still life?
Questioning whether the tranquil scene truly represents life in its stillness
It doesn't feel so
Feeling that despite the appearance, life doesn't seem still
Is it storms that help make the heart grow?
Contemplating whether storms or difficulties contribute to emotional growth
