Standing in the Rain

pain is like a storm
rivers of tears overflow 
with cold chill and flood
sharp arrows from the dark clouds
pierce into my hope for joy

strong wind whips my heart
hurting my spirit and soul
but not my firm faith

after I had rotator cuff surgery, I was in so much physical pain...the kind you describe, the kind that can take away one's daily joy....faith and strength got me through...loved your words, Sara

Standing is the key; we shouldn't bow down to the troubles and challenges we face. We must be firm in faith to please Him, Bernard. Smiles ~ Blessings, my friend. Bill
