I believe struggles make us stronger
Can only bring patience and sturdier will
When I look at past suffering
It touches with lessons still

I am a product of persistent pain
In the wake of destruction is grace
Depth is defined by determination
It is detailed in the lines on your hands and face

Time goes on, even when broken
At our worst we must retain hope
See a way to grow from our setbacks
Look to a better future as you climb life's *****.
