Storms

The waves crashed upon the shore
there is a  calm before the storm
we do not know the battles other have
or how many waves have crashed
how many storms appeared
or if it raged and destroyed
storms you cannot push through
storms where you come through yet
only have to go through another one
you feel you are drowning
head is barely above the water
with faith you discover your strength
there will be many storms in life
because you are made by the storms
you go through.
