Personal Poetry Challenge Day Forty-Eight

A friend of mine is going through a rough time.  Trying to help them keep things in perspective inspired today s verse.  The message is…. hold to hope but do what’s needed to get through the situation.

A Life Of Storms

The storm winds blow the clouds roll in,
The thunderheads amass.
But don’t forget the fiercest storms,
Must also one day pass.

So when life’s seas are wracked with storms,
And seem to rough to sail,
Within your heart know it can’t last,
Hold fast to hope and bail.

There’ve been some times life’s challenged me.
Despair my only friend.
But time brings change and over time,
Pain and despair did end.

The storms blow out the seas will calm,
Your life will sail on.
Pain not forgot but muted so,
Despair and fear are gone.

So think of this when you are tossed,
Upon life’s stormy seas.
The worst of it must one day pass,
So hope and bail please.

Cheers, Winston
