The vi'lent storm is thrashing 'round; The giant waves upon me pound; And though I search so desperately This raging storm - is all I see. And yet I know - deep down inside This too will pass - it shall subside; Yes, this rising tide, this raging sea It shall not always ravage me. Dark clouds will pass; the sun will shine And once again - a calm shoreline; Oh, the gulls will swoop; my heart will soar; My soul will sing - like ne're before! I know He's true; He'll give me rest; He gives His peace when I'm opressed Yes, and even 'midst the storms to be He'll be right there - He'll rescue me! 10/98 ------------------ Denise |

Smiles...here's to rest and forgiveness...most importantly of yourself.  ------------------ "This world is not conclusion. A sequel stands beyond, Invisable as music, But positive as sound." ~Emily Dickinson |

There is nothing about this piece that is not perfect...the rhyme, the meter, the message.....and the author. |
