The Peace That Comes After

We all must negotiate life’s angry seas;
enduring the violent ebb and flow;
many times; we’re driven to our knees;
for we’ve no other place to go.

Life is divided into very diverse seasons;
some, of laughter; others; tears;
only the Master knows all the reasons;
only God can calm our fears.

It’s hard to have faith; during the storm;
safe harbor; becoming destruction;
from deeper faith; many become torn;
accepting sin’s corruption.

After the storm is a time for reflection;
assessing all the damage it’s done;
how can life’s storms lead to perfection;
and all things; become from the One.

The Storms of life facilitate change;
life cannot grow, while dormant;
growth occurs in the midst of pain;
change usually results in torment.

Death is the end of life’s battering ram;
when we ascend to the heavens, above;
saved by the sacrifice of the spotless lamb;
basking in the Master’s love.

Remember the time when you’re born;
it was a time of joy and laughter;
but, beware the calm before the storm;
embrace the peace that comes after.
