Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now - my Poem

Johnny Nash -- I Can See Clearly Now  

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FscIgtDJFXg 

Written and sung by Johnny Nash

He is from Houston, very appropriate for here these weeks.

(We live in Katy/Fulshear, Texas, a Houston suburb [link].

(Fortunately we did not flood at our home.)
_ _ _ _

We did in 1979, 33 inches in our house.  It went like this:

We are gone
 
I don' wanna flood no more
Done it once before, not fun
Rescue the dog and the kid
One on each arm, backpack set

Out the window we must go
Leave it all behind, goodbye

The Lyrics: I can see clearly now

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It's gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It's gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
 It's gonna be a bright
(Bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
Oh, what a bright, (bright)
Sun-shiny day
