View from my window during shelter-in-place

Mr. Sky, Mr. Sky,
What will the weather be like tomorrow?
Will it rain tomorrow?
Will the sun shine tomorrow?
When will shelter-in-place end?
When will the sickness be over?
I want to play with my friends and
I want all my friends to come over on my next birthday.
