Merging Adversity With Strength

I saw... An Ant hurried away carrying a loaf of bread for winter A stray dog digging the mud to hide left over piece of bone to eat later A grandmother soaking under the sun anticipating her final days A widow toiling to meet her children's needs I also saw... A hen protecting her chicks under her wings A cat patiently targeting her prey A monkey nursing her baby with pride The Spider tries spinning it's web over and over However, until i saw.... I relentlessly wrestle over my shattered dreams Beat my chest and race my thoughts The nightmares that stay longer than summon They say I dance to mourn, I sing to mock Nothing good comes from the trees I planted But after I saw... I perceive my life, a little better, a little shinier I am no holier than thou yet mightier than yesterday Unapologetically advancing, knowing pain is unbiased Grief exempts none Therefore, i'm schooling Merging adversity with Strength And looking forward for triumph unfold.
