A storm may howl, the skies may tear,
But seeds take root in ground laid bare.
The foe that stands to block your way
May carve the path to break of day.
In every storm, a secret lies,
A path is born where courage tries.
So greet the storm with a steady eye
Its wrath may lift you, not pass by.
The foe you face with a fist held tight
May teach you strength, may spark your fight.
Within each storm’s relentless sway,
A hidden truth is born anew each day.
Adversity knocks in shadow and storm,
Wearing a shape far from the norm.
But deep in trials, if you see clear,
Opportunity stands, drawing near.
Beneath the weight of trouble’s guise,
A hidden treasure secretly lies.
Embrace the tempest, and you’ll see
How Destiny rises from the raging sea.
