Strength

It is the struggles that makes us strong

the daily trials as we go along

tests of character and of mind

it is in these true strength we find

 

Though these times may seem so dark

life is never just a walk in the park

with each one we grow a little more

becoming stronger than before

 

While we walk in the trials we may feel weak

the things about which we do not speak

pushed down by the weight we fight to stand

every now and again with a helping hand

 

The trials we face the tests of the heart and soul

things over which we have no control

they give us strength they make us strong

able to face whatever this life brings along

Rise

Get knocked down things not going well

feeling as if you’re spending time in hell

nothing goes right all lows and no highs

and still you have the strength to rise

 

Feeling hopeless lost and afraid

the best of plans get waylaid

no words to speak only sighs

and still you have the strength to rise

 

Heartbroken dreams cast aside

looking for a place in which to hide

failing failing so many tries

and still you  have the strength to rise

 

Sun breaks through the clouds now gone

a new path unto your feet is shown

triumphant through adversity only truth now no lies

and all because you had the strength to rise
