This Too Shall Pass
When the weight gets heavy
and the days feel long,
when you’re trying to stay steady
but everything feels wrong—
know this:
it won’t last.
When your mind starts racing
and your hope runs thin,
when you’re fighting old battles
you thought you’d already won again—
breathe.
This too shall pass.
Waves roll in
and waves roll out.
What feels like the end
is never the end—
it’s a reroute.
Pain hits hard,
but it doesn’t stay.
It teaches,
it shifts,
then it moves out of the way.
You won’t always feel
what you’re feeling today.
Your heart will lighten,
your path will clear,
your strength will rise
right out of the fear.
You’ve survived every moment
you thought you couldn’t get past.
You’ll survive this one too—
and you’ll rise
right after it’s passed.
Know this:
nothing stays forever.
Not even us.
Nothing lasts.
We too shall pass
by Rosalind P. Steed

Reflective Questions
What part of your life feels “heavy but temporary,” and what would shift if you believed it truly won’t last?
When you look back at a moment you once thought would break you, what strength did you discover in yourself that you didn’t know you had?
