The storms may come and limbs may break;
Yet others bend beneath the weight—
Of heavy rain and windy breeze…
A storm can mark the strongest trees.

Life sometimes deals with us this way;
In unseen trials we meet each day.
It’s not how much our bodies break
Or how much they may bend;
It’s our outlook in our own life
That helps our spirits mend.
