Overcoming Hard Times Poems - Page 2

Be brave.
You already are.
Look at what you've made it through.
The wounds of your past have healed.
The seemingly endless chapter has ended,
And those bruises have faded.
The battle, you survived,
And you are still here.
Be brave.

Adversity brings out the best in you
It often helps to find something new -

A hidden talent or clears a doubt
Or you understand what life's about

Adversity nourishes you to become strong
It helps to reach where you truly belong

Adversity makes you tough and wise
It shows where your strength lies

Adversity is nothing but a stepping stone
To a path that seems rugged and unknown

But if you let courage be your guide,
And can take things on your stride,

Don't get dejected and continue to fight.
In the end, you'll see hope and light.

Once protected, you felt so safe
Now everything you know means nothing;
I see the fear in your face
What are you to do
When your hero has fallen from grace?

Who will you run to now?
Who will shield you from the storm?
Who will dry your eyes?
When all you feel is hurt?

I know your faith is shaken
Your spirit's grown weary
Nothing is worthwhile when hope is slowly fading

I beg you stop looking towards the skies
Open your heart, and shut your eyes
I promise I will protect you from all the lies;
Let me in, I'll warm the cold
I'll restore the light your hero sold

Now open your eyes and that world disappears
There is nothing, there is no one
But you and I

Do you feel the calm?
Do you hear my heart?
Do you feel the warmth?
Do you believe in my love?

Now open your eyes and that world reappears
But remember baby, your heart I hold so close, so dear.
Now take my hand outreached to you
And know with me you've nothing to worry
There is nothing to fear.

She never let life
or the weight that
came along with it
weigh her down, it
only made her stronger.

Troubled times are here, as we knew they would come
Not because of the situation, just because life in general is not always fun
But we can overcome them, together we must
Because the love that we have shared was surely built with trust
Times are daring in any family it seems
Rocking the boat to fulfill our dreams
We can build the obstacles but must remember to knock them down
For if we don't there will surely be trouble by leaps and bounds
I think along the way somehow we forgot to knock down
The obstacles that are tearing at our hearts and apparent trouble that abounds
Let's take the time to clear the obstacles and go back to loving each other
We're here to listen to your choices, let's stop hurting one another
Right or wrong it's always God's call
We must remember, it is us who will ultimately take the fall
So in my heart I do not think it is worth it just to be right
Life is too short not to say we love you and we won't give up without a fight
