Hard Times Build Strong People...

 Hard Times Build Strong People

In the shadows where the storms reside,

Where tears fall, and hopes collide,

There’s a fire that begins to ignite,

Born in the darkness, yearning for light.

When the winds howl and skies turn grey,

And the world seems to push you away,

Stand your ground, let the tempest roar,

For strength is forged on struggle's shore.

Each scar you bear, a badge of pride,

A tale of battles where you didn’t hide.

Through trials that sought to tear you apart,

You found resilience deep in your heart.

The weight you carry, the pain you feel,

Are chisels shaping a soul of steel.

In every fall, in every cry,

Is a seed of strength that learns to fly.

Hard times whisper, "You’re not enough,"

But prove them wrong; you’re built for tough.

The broken pieces, the shattered dreams,

Are bridges now over life's rough streams.

For the strongest oak, the tallest tree,

Battled winds to stand so free.

And you, too, will rise and soar,

A testament to the storms you bore.

Hard times test, but they also mold,

A spirit unyielding, fearless, bold.

Through every trial, through every fight,

You’re tempered gold, shining bright.

So when the shadows darken your way,

And despair threatens to make you stray,

Remember, the strongest have walked this path,

Emerging victorious from life’s wrath.

Hard times build, they don’t destroy,

They forge a strength no force can employ.

You are the proof, the story untold,

A masterpiece crafted from courage bold.
