Patience My Friend

Tried by fire one could easily fall to the flame But you endure and will come out stronger in the end Sometimes the road doesn't leave us the same Is this due to weakness or who is too blame What is broken possibly will never fully mend Tried by fire one could easily fall to the flame In the course of events is where we play the game We will be challenged to which direction do we tend Sometimes the road doesn't leave us the same In the end of our trials we can ultimately end in shame Our morals and beliefs like dust in the wind Tried by fire one could easily fall to the flame However my friend in the end you gain your fame Of your faith, hope, dreams and conscience you do not lend Sometimes the road doesn't leave us the same Triumphant, courageous, steadfast, all associated with your name The very things you hold dear you don't break nor bend Tried by fire one could easily fall to the flame Sometimes the road doesn't leave us the same Written by Wayland Bunch II 1/11/21 for FJ Thomas
