Wilma Neels Poet Light Verse

'resilience'

Like a knockout blow 
In the final round

The challenges comes 
All at once 
How you cope will depend on how you see them 
It's not always black and white
Pastel shades 
Are all abound

You can get through this 
Even if you have to tick 
Them off one by one
Not everything 
Needs to be resolved today 
Deal with what you can 

Lighter they will become 
They say "Rome wasn't build in a day" 
Neither was your character
It might look flawed to you 
But in you might be 
That single trait your foe wish they had 

Test your resilience 
And surprise yourself 
You might see what I see 
One day, hopefully some day
