Smiling Through the Rain

Days and days of nothing but sorrow

All the while hoping for a better tomorrow

Pain smothered me until I could not breathe

Hurt felt like it would never leave

To quietly wipe away my life was my plan

I did not possess the strength to stand

Loneliness trapped the thoughts in my mind

Whispered words that were so kind

Until the savior came to set me free

Open my eyes so I can see

All my pain will be used by Him

Used to help you, used to help them

So I stand here thankful for the pain

Grateful I stand through the rain

My heart still breaks but I will praise you

Tears shed as I thank you for what I go through
