Storms don’t last forever…
They come like a wave that has exceeded it’s amplitude
Breezing through like winds with such great magnitude
Overwhelming our thoughts, clouding our minds like a mist
Causing us to wonder, questioning if God truly exists

But storms don’t last forever…
They appear like thorns picking on bright red roses
Coursing through our veins like cold chills of high doses
Filling our hearts with worry, fear and uncertainties
Leaving us weak and weary, feeling like liabilities

But storms don’t last forever…
They strike hard from nowhere like a stray bullet
With full force like a creditor ready to collect
They’re like rapid shots fired from a bow and arrow
Coupling our hearts with grief and such painful sorrow

But storms don’t last forever…
They are the challenges of life we face day after day
The burdens in our hearts seeming like they’re there to stay
The bad news we get forcing our minds to save the date
Leaving us helpless, wondering if it’s simply just fate

But storms don’t last forever…
Sure they are tough but like every storm they’ll pass
It may take a while but stay put, it’ll be victory at last
Before long they become stories you may not even remember
So smile, be of good cheer, because hey, storms don’t last forever.
