Hardship



In life's vast journey, hardships reside,
A path strewn with challenges, by our side.
Through trials and tribulations, we must tread,
For it's in those struggles, strength is bred.

Like a tempest's rage, they descend,
Testing our spirits, will they bend?
But deep within, a flame does burn,
A flicker of hope, it's our turn.

For hardships teach lessons, hard and wise,
They mold our characters, make us rise.
Through tears and pain, we find our might,
Emerging stronger, with every fight.

When dreams seem distant, obscured by gloom,
Remember, within you, there's a hidden bloom.
With every setback, a chance to grow,
To harness courage and let it flow.

In the face of failure, do not despair,
For it's a stepping stone to a future fair.
Each stumble and fall, a chance to learn,
To embrace resilience and return.

Life's hardships shape our hearts and minds,
They test our limits, make us redefine.
With unwavering spirit, we'll overcome,
For within us lies the strength to outrun.

So, let us embrace the challenges we face,
With grace and courage, we'll find our place.
For through life's hardships, we shall find,
The beauty of growth, the triumph of the mind.
