The clouds will gather

The sky will turn dark

The rain will fall

But the sound of it will calm the restless souls

The thirsty plants will recieve water necessary to grow

One day the harvest will yield food that will feed the masses

But for the person stuck in the storm without an umbrella

All you see is rain and the inability to stay dry

Water is wet and cold

But it’s necessary in order to survive

So celebrate the hard times

Laugh in the midst of crying

Dance when the soles of your feet ache

And be hopeful

Because these moments will build your character

Preparing you for a day when the world is a complicated place

Love always, Ayesha
