Look Deeper

You think me strong. But I am not; nor ever have I been. I have known success, but only that; Which comes with standing by your dreams. You thought me brave. But I am not; nor ever have I been. I faced down death, but you didn't know, He is my dear sweet, bosom friend. You thought me happy. I was not; nor seldom have I been. But duty holds, when joy does not; Nor can Hope sustain. Truth reigns, a treasure true; And duty doth endure. All else fades, in this dark world, Except for love, which lives forever with our God.
