Hardship



Hardship I do not like it, deep down I wanted to quit,                           
but later I realized it was for my benefit.
How you say, and in which way, could hardship to me be of help?
It just make me scream, cry and yelp.
That is the truth but it also makes us grow,
if you don’t to hardship bow.
In this world nothing comes without resistance,
take a plant for instance.
Which start from a seed, for a while it was dark indeed.
Covered in dirt it had to grow and proceed,
if it wanted to continue it’s breed.
With a little water,
it resisted it condition and started to grow and prosper.
It pushed against the soil that kept in the dark,
and started to grow, in condition that was stark.
So it could come into the light,
as a green plant looking at us with delight.
So are we like the seed and the plant,
if we just don’t believe in the words impossible or can’t.
We have the inner ability,
to sprout like the plant if we exercise our tenacity.
No one can tell a seed that it can’t grow,
neither should you let darkness make you bow.
Hardship, is only there to let you to the whole world, your growing show.
Hardship only make us stronger,
if we use our resistance and Godly power;
we for it will be better.
It all begins with one’s outlook,
being positive and picking up the good book.
You’ll find gems that are life-saving,
and a better way of behaving.
You have a choice, during hardship, to grow or die!
Keep living, learning and growing even if you cry or sigh.
Your attitude in these times is very essential,
and choosing a positive attitude, is very beneficial.
Just like a plant, your tears produce moisture,
it is to your garden of growth water.
You should decide not to quit and your hardship situation you will conquer,
and you will grow stronger,
but keeping a positive attitude you must always remember.
Now you have conquered, you are called successful,
so spread your limbs, so all can see you so beautiful.
