Life's Hurts Make Us Stronger
"Every struggle in my life has been a ....
lesson, and made me stronger and given me wings."
Now, I can look back on my life and see the chapters
some are beautiful but many are decay
I have called many friends only to be hurt
their cruelty like a dagger to my trusting heart
I have known death, loss and grief, and rejection
but now I realize that this journey has made me strong
when I am weeping I step back usually into poetry
where I can pour out my tears and my pain for the world
I have lost so many important to me
and I find them down a winding path
just engraved names in stone forevermore
but their graves are peaceful and birds sing
and the trees sway and flowers bloom
so, that gives me a sense of peace for a moment
but as I leave the dagger of remembrance plunges
