Poem: “Your Story Will Change” by Reynold Adjei

YOUR STORY WILL CHANGE

It is not the same in the morning as it is in the evening. 
The sun that shines in the day isn’t the moon that shines at night. 

The force that drives the sons of men to work isn’t the same force that drives them from work.
There’s a season for everything. 

Today you’re in the pits feeling all terrible and pathetic. 
You’re in the wilderness groping in the dark all hopeless and despaired. 

Your story isn’t one of attraction and beauty, it isn’t one of a fairy tale or a happily ever after. 
But you need the rain to birth sunshine,

You need the deep blue skies to birth the brightest stars.
There’s no black without white and the sweetest fragrance is after the heaviest rainfall. 

No one has ever ascended the mountaintop without first scaling through the valley.
Your story will change but you must go through the grind to be refined.

You may be in the depths of the ocean but soon you’ll find yourself at the shore sunning yourself and basking in the warmth of the sun rays. 

It is well with you; your end will be great and your laughter will echo through the farthest horizon. 
Stand firm, don’t give up yet,

Your redemption is on its way.
