At times the earthly cares press in so hard I feel like I might break
If they press any harder a diamond they might make
I am going through the fire, I think I am being refined like Gold in the fire, impurity stripped away to give way for the beautiful shiny golden hue making it seem new again
I wonder if we endure tough times so like the Gold, we can shine, we are molded and shaped our character  is further built and we develop more compassion for others
Our passion for life is fueled when we make it through, may we like the Gold shine
If you are going through the fire, I am willing to walk beside you, as your friend, remember you are precious like Gold  and may you shine!
