You Never Know Poem by Alison Smith

Life has so many secrets yet to tell
Just when you thought it had told you all
It hands you something new
Sometimes it can bowl you over.

Time can always heal most things
But what of the pain, it keeps echoing
How can life be so cruel?
How do we deal with each onslaught?

Strength to deal with a new challenge
How many times can we find that strength?
Will there be a time we cant find it?
What then?

You never know when a new secret will be revealed.
Are you ready?
Will you have the strength this time?
Can you lean on me?

(* for a friend facing a loosing battle *)
