After The Storm Poem by Vanessa Alvarez

Sometimes in life, the colors fade,
Joy and sorrow in parade,
Happiness whispers, then pain takes its place,
Trials and burdens we're forced to face.
Moments of laughter, moments of pain,
Sunshine hides, and skies grow plain.

The heavens darken, the light seems gone,
Hope feels distant, far in hand
Raindrops fall like tears you weep,
Storms surround, their shadows deep.

Hold on tight though the night is long
The soul is stronger, the heart is strong
Tomorrow's sun will pierce the gray,
And brighter path will light your way,

There are seasons when the heavens cry,
Tears like rivers from your eye.
Storms may flood your fragile ground,
Problems rise and fears abound

But every storm must lose its might
No endless rain, no endless night
The clouds will break, the winds will rest,
And peace will cradle a weary chest.

So hold on tight, don't let go,
The winds of change begin to blow.
Tomorrow's sun will pierce the gray,
Peace will bloom and light your way.

For every storm must find its end,
And broken hearts will learn to mend.
The night may linger, dark and deep,
But morning wakes from shadowed sleep.

So trust the turning of the skies,
Through pain and loss, new hope will rise.
Life's colors fade, but they return—
And brighter flames of joy will burn

Yet even floods of trials pass,
No storm forever clouds the grass.
Hold your ground, endure the night,
Morning comes with gentle light.

For every burden, peace will grow,
After the rain, soft winds will blow.
Colors return, the sky will sing,
And brighter days new hope will bring.
