I Control the Storms

why ride a wave?
I'd rather let it ride me
to make me brave
so I can ride eternity
      why take shelter from the rain?
      I'd rather it drench me in hope
      it might sound insane
      but it will teach me to cope
in a flood I refuse to drown
I let it wash through my soul
making me too strong to take down
it's the storms that make me whole

Hello Chrisy, I enjoyed your rhyme.I like to walk in the rain when it is a mist. It makes me feel so good.At the beach I like to watch the waves, it comforts me.I like the sound of water, it is calming.
