Strength From My Trials Poem by Ivan Brooks Sr

In trouble times and hard times
I get strong and my faith shines
Even if I'm down without dimes
That's the best time God shines.

In the darkest hours of my trials
I stay grounded and get hopeful
Even if l have to crawl for miles
That's when I just remain grateful.

At night time when the sun sleeps
I stay in bed and remain thoughtful
Thinking beyond what my mind keeps
Which is why I remain blissful.

In peacetime the soul is at ease
I stay alert and remain careful
Keeping my sanity pristine, no clause
That is why my ideas are wonderful.
