Through the Mighty Storms of Life
I stand
I stand
In my feet
And in my heart
I stand
Though the mighty wind blows my hair back
And threatens to take me to the ground
I stand
Surrendering only to the Path
That has been provided to me
Trusting that if I deepen my Faith
And live as I believe
All will be well
Allowing my days to encompass
The will of the Creator
Bending to that which I cannot change or control
Rising when I have freedom of choice
It is a dance to know and understand the difference between the two
Time will show me
When to stand and when to bow
My journey is to become steeped in both
So it is true that life brings me lessons that allow for
The learning of both
Hit my knees, or raise the arms in the air
Each has their own precious gifts to my Soul.
