sleep, child.
sleep away the pain.
rest your weary mind.
not a child any longer.
forced to bow to the strong winds of adversity.
unable to hold your head high,
no matter how strong the efforts.
the rain seems to pour for days.
forgotten is the warm sunshine of yesteryear.
breathe, child.
breathe in the fresh air.
the winds have seemed to change.
for your patience,
you are rewarded.
the sun will shine,
tomorrow will come.
