Strength
Once in a lifetime you face great challenges
obstacles you must overcome, opportunities you miss,
the world weighs on your shoulders
troubles devour your mind,
all the time you sit and wonder
what do you need to find?
Should you look for someone to share your life with
or try to endure life on your own,
relying only on inner strength
Strength. . . a word that holds power,
demanding at least a second thought.
If only it could last forever, then life wouldn't be so tough
look inside your heart, true strength comes from within,
you should never look too far, to find courage to keep on living.
