Peace In The Storm 

It was a boisterous windy day 
As I hiked the mountainside 
Trees were swaying back and forth 
Some of the climbers were terrified 

As I surveyed a ledge in the rock
Something special caught my eye 
A lone bush was anchored there 
Secure in a crevice, "high and dry"

Closer observation revealed 
A birds nest carefully made
Attached securely to the limbs 
Defying nature's escapade 

A mother bird sat calmly there
Oblivious to the violent wind
Circumventing her surroundings 
Circumstances, - did not offend 

"Peace" - in the midst of a storm
Of this, she was confident 
She knew higher power prevailed 
There was no fear, not even a hint

From this, a lesson we should learn
It's a principal Jesus taught 
In Him, there's peace in a storm 
Contentment, - that can't be bought
