I couldn't say it better if I tried

The Rainy Day
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
(1841)


The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.


My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the mouldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.


Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

How I would rejoice in the silver lining,
That my Lord gives me by His shining,
How grateful for His blessings, He sends my way,
for in spite of all, He makes it another spectacular day!

This too shall pass, girl. Just know you are so loved:-)

God's Grace.
