Inner Strength

Faith can move mountains and heal wounded hearts; Beauty will linger where’er hope imparts; Love can bring comfort when life seems too tough; But, when day is finished, strength shall be enough. Inner strength is a fortress where sanity reigns, A pillar of peace, far from grief and pain, A place where the sunlight so effortlessly shines, Enshrouding the spirit in warmth, undefined. In each moral fabric, one thing remains clear, Through times of much hardship, strength falls with each tear; Thus, with every teardrop, the soul shall be cleansed, Thanks to inner strength and support from true friends. No moment of struggle, marred by loss or grief, Shall ever be greater than the wide belief, That every challenge has reason to come, For each heart is tailored to never succumb. Inner strength is our light through a forest of trees, Guiding our way, always, with the greatest of ease, Embracing our purpose, down each earthen trail, And the single reason, we’ll always prevail.
