The rain is falling. . .
    It doesn't seem like it's going to stop
I've been through the storm before
    But it never scared me like it does now.

I seem to have lost my way
    The clouds have blotted out the sun
No star shines to light my way
    And the wind blows so hard that it chills my skin

I wish I could remember a time before the rain
    Before the clouds filled the sky
A time where the sun shone in my world
    But I can't remember one. . .
        . . . and believe me, I've tried.

But I know that there's a light at the
  end of the storm,
    There has to be. . .
Because a life cannot always be dark and cloudy
    I'm determined to find out

       and this time, I'm going to weather the storm.


 That which gives light must endure burning

It's something we all must do Sven.  You my friend will do it with courage, feeling and wisdom.  Beautiful work

The last line fills me with several emotions!
A well - done piece
