THIS TOO SHALL PASS

Trouble and stress don't seem to end

they just won't go away

The nightmares dreamed in darkness

still last into the day

While hopelessness and helplessness

will stay and linger on

The distant days of happiness

are withered and long gone

Still, hope can banish shadows

and prayers do save the soul

Soft whispers to the angels

bring warmth into the cold

Yes, faith will heal the wounded

for the shadows never last

Just trust in Spirit's promise

and soon, this too shall pass!
