Storms don’t last forever

Storms don’t last forever;

The seas will gather and still,

The sky will dry its eyes,

The sun will reappear and

Speak riddles and rhymes;

We will know to cheer again;

The ground will be steady, inviting

Us to walk, and stroll and leap again;

The grass will grow and give

Us a pillow for reminiscing,

The flowers a bed as we

Speak stories that relieve

Light laughter;

Our shoulders a resting place for

Moments of loud laughter -

They are too for tears,

But seasons change and

Today we learn to rejoice again.
