Whatever It Be

In sorrow, soul weeps,
in trial, character builds.
New start frightens, confuses,
in hardship man wins or loses.
In youth, hope has wide wings,
a noble heart - in all seasons-
comfort brings.

Mid-age crises are tough,
the road to rebuild is rough.
Sickness may take a heavy toll
or it may be a wake-up call.
But what-e'er be the tide,
Love stands a guard and guide.
