Waiting for the storm to roll in <br />I found a feeling deep within <br />A little bit of pain and beauty <br />All mixed together and flowing through me <br /> <br />Thunderous clouds came my way <br />A little bit of lightning and rain <br />Building up a surging power <br />Making its way through my darkest hour <br /> <br />A little bit of laughter and tears <br />A little bit of hopes and fears <br />All washed away and made new <br />I've got something I gotta do <br /> <br />The storm came and passed <br />Nothing is made to last <br />But I think I can last little more <br />There's so much to live for<br /><br />Jessica Stubbs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-passing-storm-2/
