"The Dust Has Settled"

Days have gone by,

yet still there lingers pain.

But finally our wish has come true,

and peace begins to reign.

Life was at a standstill,

and all we had was hope and grace.

Now smiles are all we see,

on each and every face.

All the damage that occured,

is now in the past.

And with each passing day,

it seems like it will last.

Each day brings new life,

and each one is filled with glee.

Everything is back to normal,

and that's how we want it to be.

Finally the dust has settled,

and all the smoke is clear.

We've strived over this adversity,

and now we have nothing to fear.
