On a gloomy day
I sat in my garden
with tears in my eyes.

Suddenly, the rain came,
sat beside me and said,
"Don’t cry—let me cry for you."

Then came the sun and said,
"Come, smile with me."

The birds arrived and sang,
"Come, sing with us."

Then came the butterflies,
"Come, dance with us."

At last, the rainbow appeared and said,
"Take all my colors
and fill your life with them again."

Together they whispered,
"Our world is beautiful—
come, be part of our world."
