A Challenge Called Life

It is sorrow which makes us tough It is pain which makes us strong It's only after burning, gold is casted It's the muddy pools where lilies belong. With impossibilities, is tested character With disease, is checked resistance With anger, is analysed patience And with failure, is determined persistence. It's the defeat which leads you to victory It's the enemy which reveals your strength Ideas are generated from a twisted mind Only crushed flowers leave a stronger scent. Disasters lead us to a new way of life You reach the end only when you start; Life is full of punctuation marks It depends on you Where to put a coma, and where to put a dot.

Very thoughtful lines. You have it right here. We do our learning and growing in the hard times. The mountain top experiences are great but the valley is the growth. Keep writing. Sara
