Trials into Treasures

The road seems long ahead, but not as long as the road behind.

I’ve forgotten more than I remember, so how do I find..

The strength to finish the race

The strength to pick up the pace

The want to survive

The will to arise?

Could you lend an ear, to a friend in despair

Or dig deep down to show that you care?

Or do you ignore me

As you pass by me,

And hope for the best

Like all the rest?

Just an encouraging word could bring a smile,

That spreads to my heart and stays there awhile,

You never know till you walk in my shoes

Till you share in my pain, suffer a bruise

A bruise that binds us together

and turns a trial……..into treasure!
