Stronger

From silence 
we are born.
Into the loudness
of life we are tossed. 
The obstacles become larger 
..and we become lost. 
Lost in a world 
where everything is fast.
..and desperate winds of the past
Ruffle our souls. 
Depression..
Can we all relate?
And yet we climb out of the 
darkness we somehow created. 
We emerge..
though life.. 
..holds on, 
like a pocket..full of iron. 
I'm sure you have felt 
weighed down. 
But do not frown. 
We all grow..
through the obstacles in life. 
As we grow, the obstacles 
become smaller, 
or we become larger.
We find our way. 
Our load becomes lighter. 
Our souls, now secure. 
Life...
through our trials we become who we are.
STRONGER.

"My strength cometh from the Lord," I think I quoted that correctly. Anyway it's true! I liked your poem and it encouraged me to have strength for today. Blessings, Darlene
