To Bask In the Sun

How do u bask in the sunshine when all you see is rain. Feeling every drop as it falls on your skin and when It touches... it's pain!!! Leaving a constant ache and permanent stain. While the words of GOD rang through my head "Be grateful and don't complain".. Which sometimes feels impossible when there's no light and the rain just won't refrain.. Meanwhile standing one drop away from going insane... Desperately in need of that light which keeps me maintained... But if only I could see the sunshine through the rain.

It is very hard to bask or to find joy in this roller coaster we call life but its there even though sometimes we have to strain to see it
