Don’t get lost in the pain of life,
Though shadows may fall and skies turn night,
Through the tears, through the strife,
Hold on, hold on to the faintest light.
The road is long, the climb is steep,
But every mountain’s crest you’ll meet.
In quiet moments, still and deep,
Your strength grows, even when you weep.
The storm may roar, the winds may howl,
But remember, they too will bow.
In your heart, find the quiet vow,
That this too, shall pass somehow.
For life is a journey, winding, vast,
The pain is fleeting, though it feels so fast.
So don’t be lost in the ache or the past,
Find your hope, and hold it fast.
Even in darkness, stars will shine,
And through the hardest paths, you’ll find,
A way to heal, a way to climb,
Don’t get lost—just trust in time.
Thank-you for reading.
Remember there are many paths back to God.
Follow your own path,
Brenda Marie

This is a powerful and moving poem about resilience. It acknowledges the reality of pain and struggle but consistently argues for hope, inner strength, and the passage of time as a healer. The message is clear and comforting: “This too shall pass.” The use of natural imagery—shadows, storms, mountains, stars—effectively universalizes the emotional experience. A beautiful reminder to persevere.
