Winds and Grins
winds only make me stronger
as I go forward in life
not altered by the tempting gales
which hinders and causes strife
the thunder is an attempt to distract
my perseverance to stand aside
the quaking grounds I stand upon
do not change my stride
the rain that pours down
refreshes my will to go on
puddles that cool my feet
give freshness to a life reborn
the elements do oppose
but charges me with zest
thru gusty winds and pelting rain
I favor adversities the best
challenges and tribulations erupt
so don’t the reasons behind
to see the grounds for struggles
it can spice up one’s find
a bend in the road
or a hill to climb
can slow things down
but the winds will chime
