Here is a short poem that you have not read yet:

The truth is, every day we rise is like thunder

—

a clap of surprise. Could be echoes of trouble,

or blossoms

of blessing. You never know what garish

or

gorgeously

disguised memories-to-be might rain down

from above.

So, look up! Claim that cloud with the silver

lining. Our

job, if you ask me, is to follow it. See where it

heads

What is the theme of the poem?

• Honesty is the key to a good life.

• The weather can help predict the future.

• You can choose to be positive and embrace uncertainty.

• Any day can be a bad day, depending on how you look at it.
