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.
