Fortitude's Leverage: A Sonnet
With fortitude and fortitude alone
We'll find our way and reach our goal
Though troubles may assail and obstacles bemoan
We'll harness them, and make them toll
For in our struggles, we can find the key
To unlock doors, and pave the way
With difficulty as our leverage, we'll see
Success, and clear our every sway
So let us not be daunted by the strife
But greet it with a steadfast heart
For through it, we will gain new life
And play our part
So let us soar ahead, and find the prize
With difficulty, as our leverage in wise.
