The Other Side--By Michael Griffith--United States

The Other Side

Clouds may have gathered over your horizon,

but the sun still shines bright behind those clouds.

And those clouds will pass.

It will take time, patience, and effort,

but you can help the clouds move on

by staying strong, having faith, and trusting in a better tomorrow.

You have come through other dark times;

you will come through this one, too.

Friends will be there not only to greet you on the other side,

but to coax you from inside the eye of your storm.

Michael Griffith began writing poetry to help his mind and spirit heal as his body recovered from a life-changing injury. Recent work appears online and in print in such outlets as The Blue Nib, Nostalgia Digest, The Wild Word and Poetry24. He resides near Princeton, NJ.
