Bigger Strife Is Followed By Greater Blessings!

When batters stormy winds incessantly,
And rain in torrents pours from bursting clouds,
A sudden calm will usher in gently,
A favorable clime that covers lands like shrouds!

When troubles come in succession so fast,
And gives not time for man to escape free,
A sudden spell of freedom will be cast,
And peace will fill the mind and heart with glee.

When temptations strike terror upon soul,
And man falls prey to the devils’ designs,
The Almighty reminds man of his goals,
And places him in divine, righteous lines.

Delayed when strife, relief is imminent;
The joy that follows is too prominent!
