Joy and pain

Graphic by Bruna Costa

They say nothing can grow with only sunshine and no rain

I speak from experience, life’s biggest blessings come after the storm

A new spirit inside of you begins to form

You don’t even recognize yourself and the way you think

Life changes so fast every time you blink

God restores all you lost with bigger blessings 

After you grow through life’s toughest lessons 

He gives us talents and gifts that we must share

Someone in this world must be obedient and really care

Some people think this is done without personal regard 

At the stake of our own mental health, and for little wealth 

Giving, giving, giving till we can’t breathe

That’s not of God if we ourselves find no relief 

Nothing done in chaos is a blessing

I just learned this from a very hard lesson

Blessed to live through another day 

And to understand there is an easier, softer way

I know who I am, and my strength is great

Only God, however, knows the outcomes and only he knows my fate

Until next time I decide to write

I’m here to stay and will win this fight

I’ll be standing for those who haven’t found their voice 

With renewed energy, being a vessel of God

They say you never know when an angel will entertain 

So for now I’ll stand firm in the pain
