Winds of Change

Many times the wind has blown strong Winds of change, pondering the wrong Surviving with faith in each day Waiting for calm to come my way As the winds blew fierce against me Stinging my eyes, I could not see But, I tried and held on tightly With all I believed, so mighty Winds of change brought change within me With every tear shed, I was free Even when the thunder did roll I would not let them steal my soul I grew with the wind and survived Came out of every storm alive Here I am, standing to face wind Knowing, what I cannot rescind Heidi Sands 8/30/17 *Placed 6th in Winds of Change Contest.
