The Prayer That Asked for Storms but Found Eternity

In a world where many hearts break in silent pain,
I knew a boy untouched by sorrow or rain.
Born into wealth where wishes arrived before thought,
Double the dreams were always what he got.
Yet he whispered to God, “Give me chaos, give me despair,”
Knocking on heaven’s door with an unusual prayer.
But nothing ever changed, no darkness came through,
So he believed the skies were empty—no God he knew.
At twenty, life shattered—his world fell apart,
Riches faded to silence, echoing deep in his heart.
Yet instead of tears, he smiled and said, “Thank you,”
For in losing everything, his faith finally grew.
For money brings moments, a flicker of light,
But peace and belief can rewrite your whole life. ?
