Analysis of The Lonely Cloud
There was a gray and lonely cloud.
No other clouds in sight.
He was depressed and never loud.
He felt so lost at night.
The other clouds were not as plain
And gathered for a storm.
He tried to be like them in vain,
But was not in the norm.
The others never helped or shared
Their loud and breezy ways.
He was so dif'rent, no one cared,
But in the coming days
His many tears collected till
Their weight caused them to fall.
The other clouds saw him fulfill
His purpose after all.
