Smile in the Rain

By: Rick L. King

Jan 23, 2016

When the storms of life do come

and there is darkness all around

Smile in the rain

As new life will be found.

A plant that is thirsty

Will cause it's leaves to become crisp and dry

They lose their beautiful color

Then fall to the ground and die.

Yet when the storms of rain come

The plant gets nourished and restored

It finds new life and grows

And becomes more beautiful than before.

Just as the plant

For when the Lord wants us to grow

He allows the storms of rain to come

So that we might change into a person we never dreamed, could be so.

If we could just see the storms as good

We could smile because we know

We realize that we are being changed

And are being caused to grow.

Things that once bothered us

We seem to now ignore

We find a new strength

And are not shoved to the floor.

Day and night

Are not in our control

But we learn to adapt

And with the darkness and light, roll.

Sure we like the sun

But darkness will each day prevail

It is all for a reason

And will give us new strength to sail.

So the storms of rain will come

No matter what we do

If we can learn to smile

It will be much easier for us to go through.

Though we suffer lots of pain

We need to learn to smile in the rain

As things will always change

And we will live once again.

We will be different

and stronger than before

We now will be able

Of life, to take on so much more.

Smile in the rain

With great expectation

It is for our growth

And will bring new jubilation.

Smile in the rain

For in God's kingdom, there is always a reason

The sun will shine again

There will come to us, a new season.
