Falling down
As its last bits got caught In the inescapable whirlpooling

STORMS JUNE P.
Storms make us stronger. Everyone goes through them. Everyday there is a different storm. Pain in our lives Rain in the world Hatred in the world Fighting in world We all have storms God made us strong for our futures Tomorrow.
