    It was raining the day you told us,
    And ever since I feel like it has not stopped pouring down.

    With rooms that sometimes resonated with laughter
    Saw also tears of much sadness, pain, suffering, and anger.

    Tummies flat and waists so tiny,
    Perky breasts and cleavage shiny,
    Photoshopped into 'perfection,'

    Why the ocean waves kiss the shore,
    Why the wind whispers forevermore.
