Remembering
The storm clouds gathered Drops battered the pavement Striking the man and bending his back further His wounds stung as salt seeped.
His face were shadowed
As he stumbled on to walk the path Jeers were everywhere Yet he remained silent.
No sound of anger
No sound of bitterness No sound of hate Only the silence of surrendered trust.
Burdens he carried
That are not meant for his back Burdens he relieved For those who do not deserve.
His sacrifice may go unheeded
Or even ridiculed But for those who saw and praised Joy were boundless.
After the mighty storm
That shook many a brave hearts An arch of colour simmered From the skies.
Rainbows appear
After the worst of storms No matter how dark the hour can be Light will appear at the very end.
The rainbow is a sign of God's promise
That He will guide us through any storm That He will ease all our troubles No matter what their form.
So when the days come
Filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities Filled with struggles that threaten to drown Just remember God's rainbow is coming.
Your burdens and troubles
Will go into his hand And His hand will guide you accordingly to His Plan. I dedicate this peom especially to people who are feeling under the strain of life... times when choices are hard, times when people let you down, times when your sins looked very big, times when your heart feels hard, times when God looks small besides your other commitments, times when bitterness threatens to overcome,... hope this poem can help. So... I dedicate this poem to Dewey who is going to Taiwan soon! And Joanna who is struggling to hand in all your submissions and thesis. And Huiling who is fighting her own battles. And Jen who is going through your new work and studies.
