Tomqab Kob Nag: A Collection of Poems

By Sher Lau

Some storms pass through the sky. Others pass through the heart.

Tomqab Kob Nag (After the Rain) is a bilingual collection of English and Hmong poems that offers quiet encouragement for life's most difficult moments. Written for anyone facing setbacks, anxiety, depression, grief, or self-doubt, these short poems remind us that hope often appears in the smallest ways.

Inspired by nature and everyday moments, each poem reflects on resilience, healing, and the courage to keep moving forward. One step, one breath, and one day at a time.

Presented in both English and Hmong, this collection celebrates the beauty of two languages while honoring the strength of the human spirit. Whether you read one poem each morning or return to them whenever life feels heavy, Tomqab Kob Nag is an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember that even after the darkest rain, brighter days can still arrive.

Inside this collection you'll find:

Original English and Hmong poems

Themes of hope, resilience, healing, and perseverance

Nature-inspired reflections for everyday life

A thoughtful gift for readers who need a little encouragement

Sometimes, all it takes is three lines to remind us to keep going.
