Hope Shines Through

Hope Shines Through

The misty grey skies vanished and
the colors of the rainbow shone through.
We felt renewed hope as the rain that had
washed over our faces and drenched our clothes,
now left us believing in life’s meaning again.

Though grief still haunted our hearts and
would forever leave its mark upon us,
the warmth of the sun above and
the beauty surrounding us comforted us,
assuring us we would once more know happiness.
