It Won't Always Be Like This

In times where you feel, 
that life is tangled in distress, 
Remember, our richest lessons gained 
are never aquired through success. 

But through the trials that we bear, 
Undesired dreams and lost battles fought, 
The place our resilience lies raw and rare, 
where our truest strengths are taught. 

Seek comfort in the knowing, 
no matter what we may face 
Is growing who we are, 
setting our views into place. 

What's destined in our path, 
won't slip by , or go a miss 
So on days that feel most bleak, 
Believe it won't always be like this.

Yes! I'm a big subscriber to your theme, Ailsa... I think I remember Chris Evert Lloyd, the championship tennis player of the '80's, saying: "It's not from your wins but from your losses that you grow." Excelsior, Gershon
