Adversity
Adversity has many names,
Sized from minuscule to monumental,
Creeping in unnoticed,
Hiding behind life's little annoyances.
Adversity,
Balloons at the worst possible moment,
Taking everyone by surprise,
Left standing in total shock.
Adversity,
Cutting to the core,
Leaving scars
That never heal.
Adversity,
Spreading a shroud of darkness,
A heavy burden on the shoulders,
A Millstone around the neck.
"Adversity," He says,
As He puts His arm around me,
Drawing me closer to His side,
Whispering, "Don't worry, we'll get through this together."
