Hope and friendship
When the skies are grey
And the thunder breaks
No calm nor peace left
Know stars are shining for you
Even if it’s past repair
As the rain falls astray
And the dam you held tightly
Falls away
Know these dull skies will be lit
As these clouds shall turn fair
And life will breathe freely again
These moments too shall pass
Although these harsh tidal waves
May crush you repeatedly without mercy
Let the warm rays of those around you
Shine brightly upon you
As these tidal waves are never stopping
And ever changing
Some remain gentle
while others remain relentless
While these beaming lights around you
May continuously change through your endless battles
Never flinch from their warm gazes
Rather flourish under their care
I hope your lights never flicker
Nor burn out
And only the warmest surround you
Through this continuous journey
So prepare for battle
for you are no prideful lion
But a cunning and kind
Really too many words to describe
Tiger
