STRONG:

We overcome adversity & all that is wrong,

We keep getting up, because we are strong,

The knocks, the slaps, the road with bumps,

The hits, the blips, the cruel fist that thumps.

 

Bombarded with bad news, images & hurt,

At receiving end, of blasphemy´s spat spurt,

So often sick, ill, & so disappointed in love,

Asking, “Is anyone listening up there above?”

 

Kicked in the teeth by life, & all that it´s giving,

Ever questioning ourselves, “Is this really living?”

Yet we rise & rise again, so it can´t all be wrong,

Merely lessons learned, so that we become strong.
