The storm that came and went

The pandemic has come, and gone!

Invasions happen, with the power of the bomb!

Tsunami's wreek havoc and devastate life!

But, these all pass like a blunted edge always comes to the sharpened knife!

A Lightning bolt battering us with depression,

Consumes us with listless energy and suppression,

Hurricane forces and confusion create the illusion, that life is destructive!

Life is too hard!

But the bard listens to his maker,

The life giver and the life taker,

Fore he who shouted far and wide,

Calmed the raging tide!!!

Therefore, faith and hope will get you through,

So that you can pursue,

Climbing to the top of that strong tree, the one left standing, while all others fall,

You know your worth and you know your call,

The storm will always fade and disappear,

Like boiling heat that does scold and seer,

And the darkness that brings danger and fear,

But, after Winter always comes Spring with vivid light,

The excitement of new growth,

The hope of rejuvenation,

Of us and the next generation,

Let us raise a glass of wine,

To the back of it all,

To the next step,

To the one who keeps striving,

To the one who never surrenders,

To the one who survives,

To the one who tries even harder,

To the bard, who continues to write from his soul,

To the one who gives us optimism,

To the one who gives his word and his light,

The ability of mental strength and fight,

To the very end and beyond,

Sing a song of merrymeant and might,

Sing a song of joy and delight!!
