Grace Rains

When I was younger, I loved to write.  I was always that English geek who loved any assignment that ended with me writing a poem or haiku (remember those??).  All through college, I would pick up my pen and jot down my feelings creatively in my journal. I rarely shared my writings with anyone--maybe my roommates now and then.  But it was mostly for me.  A way to channel my feelings and fear, hopes and dreams.  It has been a very long time since I have written anything. I feel like I have had all of these life experiences, but lacked the energy to dwell on them enough to write about them.  Until today.  I woke up wanting to write.  And so I did.  So I thought I would share. 

*Disclaimer*- I don't claim to be an amazing writer (so please don't laugh)--but it isn't about being amazing after all :)

Sunny Days

And all was okay

Until the clouds rolled in

And blew the sun away.

 

The rain fell hard

And pelted skin deep

The wind blew mighty

and knocked me off my feet.

 

But there amidst the storm

The fire from the sky

I saw what was a promise

and I felt hope arise.

 

I felt hope stirring

Deeply in my soul

And seeing that bow of colors

I knew I could let go.

 

So I put down my barrier

My umbrella shield

And I walked among the drops

That the sky dared to yield.

 

I was washed by the rain

Bathed in grace

And it was then and there I knew why

 I was standing in this place.

 

Even if the sun

Never shone it's face again

I was loved through the storm

I was loved by Him.

Be blessed, friends!
