THE CLOUDS REMEMBERS

My hectic day was over
I grabbed my briefcase 
And raced out of the office 
Goodbye job, the weekend is here
And I am so excited 

As I exit the door I lift my head to the sky 
And to my surprise 
A shapely cloud caught my eyes 
I had never seen this one before 
And it looks like a dinosaur 

Immediately I recalled my childhood days 
When under the South American skies I would gaze
At shifting shapes of clouds with amazement 
As hours flew by like the clouds in the sky

Now here I am a grandfather acting like a child
But nothing else mattered that moment, as I smiled

So many of creation has vanished away 
Animals and birds has become extinct
Because of man's dislike and disrespect for nature 
But the clouds remembers 

And before man can plan his path of destruction 
For that which the heavens has displayed
The wind comes along
Changing those animated clouds into rain
And washes man's evil thoughts down the drain 
Because the clouds remembers.
