Hope Renewed

Storm clouds roll over head
Thunder rumbles through falling rain,
Lightning tears through the sky.

Darkness casts a shroud,
Spirits are smothered in dread
Hearts fear the worst.

Hopes are dashed on the shore
Enveloped in the rising tide,
In surrender cries are raised.

The storm ceases,
darkness is cast aside
Hopes’ rainbow appears,
His promise is kept again.
