After the Rain

Why this lingering sadness?

You have been loved from your creation

The day you were placed upon this earth

Your mother was thrilled to see your face

And your father's heart leapt for joy

Why doubt the goodness of your existence?

Your soul is of eternity

The mind of God conceived you

You were thought of in a sea of light and purity

No stain was found in your being

Should you now reject the kindness of God?

Each breath, each ray of sunshine

Every miracle of life?

Have you forgotten that God is in the details

Or have you listened to the lies?

You are on a journey home and each day is a gift

Feel your life, be grateful

Believe that good will come out of darkness

Life out of death

And healing from even the most grievous injury

Rejoice, be happy for all is well

And this sadness will pass like a storm driven cloud

And you will stand

In the brilliance of the sun

After the rain
