Inspiration: My mother used to say, it came to pass but not to stay. This was her way of saying that everything passes, everything has its season and its purpose. Sometimes we just need to be patient and wait out the times when everything seems to be going in the wrong direction; these times too will pass and if we approach them with faith and endurance, we will emerge with a wiser and enriched character.
Theme: Growth, Pain, Triumph.
Everything Passes.
Everything passes,
The good and the bad,
Life is full of seasons supported by reasons-
That everything needs to be renewed,
Therefore it comes to pass but not to stay,
For nothing lasts forever;
Although it can seem so at the time.
So refrain from any action that's destructive or rash,
For some things once done cannot be undone,
But keep focus on the light - it will come again,
And appear all the brighter,
Because you have passed through the night.
