Facing the Storm

Facing the Storm
.
We watch the storm carefully as it's fury grows.
We listen to the winds howl and long for the rain to fall.
As the thunder claps and the lightning slashes the sky,
we grow weary and sometimes realize that we may be mistaken.
We grow afraid of what is to come and only want things to be as they once were.
.
Life is like riding out the storm
and waiting for other squalls to come and go.
The more furious the storms that we endure,
the more knowledge we will possess of the world around us.
The most important thing is to endure the storm,
do not shy away, don't shield yourself from the fury.
For, when we face the storms which life throws our way,
we grow into what we may become.
