Through the Mighty Storms of Life

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.
