Strength
–
Strong, but not always so,
Strength built on life of woe.
Lessons learned often hard.
Life rebuilt from torn shard.
Never quit, kept up fight.
To friends often a plight.
–
Secret I wish to share,
I watched… always aware.
Looked to others mishaps,
And to their joys perhaps.
Mimicking those that work,
Those that didn’t… would shirk.
–
Not sudden, but day came,
All pain not borne in vane.
Slowly, recouped spirit
Patched life, gaining merit
Confidence in self built
Wondrous life, patchwork quilt.
