Comparing cancer to sailing through a wild storm, sitting still with no wind, harnessing the wind in the sails to move toward your destination.
Sailing Through Life’s Storms
The Storms of Life Expose and Strengthen Our Weaknesses
The storms of life can cleanse away Our weaknesses and strengthen us To be stronger to nourish ourselves and others. A verse from my poem 'A Battered Refuge' Beverley Joy of Simply Story Poetry
What Will We Choose To Do?
Life's storms can batter and bruise But they can also teach us a lesson or two If that's what we choose to do. Inspired by my poem 'Battered Refuge' Beverley Joy of Simply Story Poetry
A Battered Refuge
This poem reflects on the resilience of a tree enduring a storm, paralleling it to life's challenges. The tree withstands the storm, emerges cleansed, and becomes a refuge once again. The author suggests that embracing life's storms can strengthen and nourish us, enabling us to support others.
