Kim Van Breda Poet Rhyme

Getting Up One More Time

GETTING UP ONE MORE TIME

How can I keep getting up
When tired and overwhelmed
With life

Where can I find the strength
Pull myself to standing
Through strife

Why stand up the first few times
Whilst battered and bruised
With life

What of falling without strength
Or heart to carry on  
Through strife

Then I feel those two strong Arms
Lifting me high once again
Tightly to Himself into
The light
