Life may place us in deep waters
Though God doesn't wish us to drown.
Adversity shows us ourselves
As to others we smile or frown.
There's no better teacher in life
Like the troubles which come our way.
Adversity strengthens our minds
As we pray what to do and say.
Constant success shows but one side
Of the world we find ourselves in.
Adversity teaches us all
That people love, hate, lust and sin.
Hardships bring us closer together
When love is the source of our every need.
As we count on God and heed His will
We are able to overcome foulness, temptation and greed.
Every soul who lived on Earth past and now
Has felt times of sadness, joy and blame.
It's up to us to do our best
To make a difference by goodness not shame.
THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR HEART?
