Along With The Thunder
"You're not strong enough whispered the Devil to withstand life's
storms and I yelled back to him, thanks to God, I am the storm."
Quote by _Poet
Beyond my pain I must move on
though sadness an echo always whispering,
with thunder that still bellows
of the grief in my broken heart.
And in my onward pauses,
I hear the rumbling drums
of my ancestors in the sky.
I hear the grandfathers
telling me to be strong,
as along your life journey there are
days of sun or thunder
days of calm or fight,
listen to the drums
and the message.
Eagles flies over my head
the Ojibwe believe the eagle
is sacred as it flies closest to God.
And I feel that God is guiding
my steps forward,
holding my hand on this journey.
So, though the devil sends crashing thunder,
angels trumpet and sing that God is near.
I will use those days of storms
to make me stronger
and always hold onto my faith,
accepting that along with the thunder there is happiness.
