MY CLOUD by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: I HAD A CLOUD, A PRIVATE LITTLE CLOUD
Last Line: THE THICKER IS ITS SHADOW OVER ME!
Subject(s): GRIEF; SORROW; SADNESS;
I had a cloud, a private little cloud,
Precisely as large as my head.
Not a ray of the sky ever reached my eye
When the private little cloud was outspread.

Now I have learned I can stretch the little cloud,
And I fling it over every one I see,
And the more I spread it out, this fabric wondrous stout,
The thicker is its shadow over me!
