The sunlight behind the clouds is peeking

and across the sky a lone bird is streaking;

a tall man before a silent crowd is slowly speaking

a calm and assuring voice with a purpose and a feeling;

a man who represents the power and feeling of love

and from whom those remaining will all take hope;

this leader, a man who does not lead by speaking

but whose very presence fills the vast sky above him;

a man who with his words is teaching;

and touching us all, while deep within us reaching;

and so across the sky a lone bird flys swiftly in silence;

like each of us alone below, to one day reach a place we each don’t know;

while way beyond the clouds horizon the Sun is squinting

to catch a glimpse of the man who stands below.
