Clouds hid sky in iron fold
Thunder gripped the night and rolled
Rain drowned every hopeful eye
Sky withheld its jeweled reply
Yet behind the weighted cloud
Star stayed patient still and proud
Never dimmed by storm’s display
Held its place through night’s decay
Storm collapsed in gentle sigh
Clouds unstitched across the sky
Star emerged in quiet reign
Nothing lost from wind or rain
Strength is not the burst of shine
But the one who holds the line
Stars endure where tempests rage—
Faith stays luminous through age
