Such loud thunders of a storm have now passed <br />But all of these things we've surely surpassed; <br />No storm or typhoon can break our strong bones, <br />No wind or force can destroy our firm homes. <br />We face each day with unity and smiles, <br />With our clean shoes and sandals, we've walked miles. <br />True, many have died but many have lived. <br />See truth's hope and don't be by lies deceived. <br />From the mud we rose and touch happiness. <br />Consider this as a way to greatness, <br />For we learned more to care for each other <br />And cherish this reunion forever. <br />Be on guard, don't let fear overtake you. <br />Keep in mind that our days are always new. <br />Nothing can ever take away our strength, <br />Our days are always good and long in length. <br />Let's embrace this day and embrace the new sun <br />Always remember that battles are won! <br />After the storm was gone I now write this, <br />I'm your friend mostly in times like this!<br /><br />Obed dela Cruz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/after-the-storm-was-gone-i-now-write-this/
