I'm like the weather, never really can predict when this rain cloud's gonna burst; when it's the high or it's the low, when you might need a light jacket. Sometimes I'm the slush that sticks to the bottom of your work pants, but I can easily be the melting snowflakes clinging to your long lashes. I know that some people like:sunny and seventy-five, sunny and seventy-five, sunny and seventy-five, but you take me as I am and neverforget to pack an umbrella. Naomi Shihab Nye
About This Quote

When you take me as I am and never forget to pack an umbrella, you will always have a friend who can be there for you in a moment of need.I might not be the most exciting person in the world, but I never judge you because you have a different idea of what's cool.We both have our ups and downs, so when you're down I'll be right there with a warm drink and a smile.I understand that sometimes it's hard to see,the storms that rages on outside,but when you open up your heart,you'll find that I'm the only one who can see your tears.
