Storms

There are many
Who love you on your sunny days
But be most thankful
For those who love you
Through your storms

Unafraid of the rain
Prepared for the wind
Marveling even at the lightning strikes
They know this temporary phase
Shall pass
And help the flowers bloom more beautifully

And when the storms become
Strong and lengthy
Instead of running
They bunker down...
And courageously draw more near

I am thankful for those
Who love me on my sunny days
And ever more so for those
Who love me through my storms
