We need the rain to appreciate
A sunny day,
As we need struggle and pain,
To recognize beauty and ease.
We must have darkness,
To see a candle’s light,
As to witness the stars,
Of course we need night.
It’s strange to have gratitude,
To stop and thank God,
For life’s hardships and heartaches…
But in rising like a phoenix,
From the depths of hell,
The taste of heaven,
Is always so much sweeter.
Some people bring us sunshine,
And pure delight!
But for those who offer,
Nothing but rain…
Strut across their dreary terrain,
Wrapped in your own,
Bright and beautiful rainbow.
