Adversity And Resilience Poem by Mark Heathcote

Adversity and resilience are my just deserts.
If I can survive this another mountain climb
So many stepping stones lead the way.
Many are rocking back and forth.
To see what I might do
Will I stick to them like glue or fall where I stand?
Many are rocking back and forth.
Like a spinning sword a barbed lance coming my way

Adversity and resilience are my just deserts.
Girl, that's what you also mean to me.
The jeopardy and peril of a lover and a friend
If I can survive this another mountain climb
I'm going to know I've got it bad.
Loving you
Oh, so many stepping stones lead the way.
Many are rocking back and forth.
To see what I might do

Adversity and resilience are my just deserts.
And like a poet declares, there are obstacles to overcome.
I'm falling blind looking at you.
Hypnotised by all you do
And every curve of your skin
I don't know how to find the door.
Or where to run? If I run, I must be free.
I guess I'd rather die and sleep in the folds of your clothes.
Then leave like a moth following the gold in a cloud.
