The Sky Is How You See It

My back is turned to you,
          But I'm listening.
I'm gazing at my personal sky
          From the door of my life.
I see a sea, I feel the breeze,
    I hear the birds screech against the wind.
I love my paradise, I love my life...
    I love the view of my personal sky.

So bring me your rainstorms, dump them in the pail.
                               There's a tinderbox for the hail.
Bring me your lightnings, and your thundering attacks,
                       But wipe your feet on my welcome mat.
Leave everything at my door, I promise I care,
But stand with me a while, and breathe the free air.
