Rising strong

Edgar R. Eslit 1991 (Dapitan City)



Resiliency, a trait so strong and true,
A force that helps us weather every storm,
And keeps us steadfast, no matter what we do,
With fortitude that helps our hearts transform.

In times of strife, when life seems bleak and hard,
When everything we know is upside down,
It's resiliency that helps us guard
Against despair, and keeps us on solid ground.

It's the power that we find deep inside,
When all else seems to fail us and let us down,
And it's the strength that helps us to abide,
And rise again, when we've been knocked to the ground.

So let us strive to cultivate this trait,
And be resilient, no matter our fate.
