A Perfect Family Storm

A perfect storm is brewing, against my family seas
Calm waters now are tossing to and fro.
It started with a rumble; grey clouds formed overhead
No sure from which direction it will blow.

Strong waves roll in and lash the shore, wetting all the sand
Should I then dare dip toes into the sea?
The undercurrent grip is strong, weakening my stand
From both sides now I feel the pull on me.

I fear a lightning strike is near, its flash a telling sign
Hear rumbling of the thunder overhead.
Sky clouds are black, this canopy bearing heavy rain, 
These threatening signs have filled my soul with dread.

My tears like rain are running free, streaming down my face
My heart-felt sobs keep rising in my chest.
The elements beyond control, this time may not abate
I know I must stand strong to pass this test.

Past storms have come and gone away, seas return to calm
Bright sunny skies bring warmth upon the ground.
This hurricane seen forming now, the tide is rising fast
The waves too deep, I fear my futures drowned.

I cannot stop the surging swell, or breakers rushing in
Against the rocks I feel my body thrown.
The fury of the lashing winds, whipping at my soul
Could forever change the peace that I have known?

However, there’s a turning point; I see the weather change
Calm waters, flow instead of rushing tide.
The wind and rain, no longer lash, the sky is clear and bright
Together, have my family by my side.

Sometimes the outcome of a storm, is subject to its force
Destructive winds may tear apart your home.
A rebuild then the only way, to make foundations strong
Replace the shifting sands this time with stone.
