Struggles struggled

For there are stories and there are tales.
Of broken promises, of broken sails.
Of hardships suffered and mountains climbed.
Of struggles struggled for ways to find.

Character rises in grief, pain and toil. 
It finds ways to face the darkest holes and believes in light. It fights with everything it’s got when life calls the fight.

We see these people aged and worn. We must look much closely to see lived life in their eyes. We must listen more intently to tales of their joys and cries. We must give respect to the tune of their song.

For they have lived longer and we want to live long.
