The mighty hurricane came —

powerful, forceful, destructive.

Yet in their despair

people found things to be thankful for.

Beneath the ravagaing storm

in the depths of the sea

lie precious  pearls.

No matter how fierce the storm,

the pearls are always there.

The mighty storms in life

are often similar —

powerful, forceful, destructive.

It helps to be prepared for them.

And to remember

that in the depths

of every storm raged problem

lie precious pearls.

When the storms in life come,

search for the pearls.

They’re always there.
