' Storms Of Life....' Poem by Shondrika Anderson Williams

Rain drops falling like flowing tears.
Wiping away the footprints of fallen soldiers no longer with us, lost but not forgotten over the years.
Roaring thunder like the sound of a mother yelling a command.
Lightening flashing just like a politic fighting to take a stand.
Some may say GOD is speaking to those who may hear His voice.
While others are ignorantly letting the devil lead them to make all except the right choice.
Clouds as dark as night trail across the sky.
As many are praying for serenity and peace yet still so many die.
Young men losing their lives falling victims to the streets.
Mothers crying tears of sorrow in front a casket or at visitation praying GOD opens the eyes of the child she once cradled close, longing to hear those precious heartbeats.
Young women becoming mothers at a young age.
Barely knowing how to take care of themselves, jumping head first into the adult life, soon wishing they could rewind the hands of time leaving chapters incomplete, merely turning the page.
Storms of life may come and they may seem steep.
Just keep one thing in mind if nothing else, GOD is there with you whether you like it or not, you're His and your burdens He'll keep.
