Poetry is Power: You are stronger than a storm

Storms,

The wind whistles,

The trees sway,

The snow flutters down.

The air is cold,

The wind bites your nose.

Icicles sparkle in the sun,

The world glitters,

As the storm rages on.

There are many types of storms,

Whether it’s rain,

Wind or sea.

Storms are strong and powerful,

Just you see.

The world sends you storms all the time,

Tough problems and challenges,

But you are strong and powerful,

You get through them.

You are stronger than a storm!
