It is the struggles that makes us strong
the daily trials as we go along
tests of character and of mind
it is in these true strength we find
Though these times may seem so dark
life is never just a walk in the park
with each one we grow a little more
becoming stronger than before
While we walk in the trials we may feel weak
the things about which we do not speak
pushed down by the weight we fight to stand
every now and again with a helping hand
The trials we face the tests of the heart and soul
things over which we have no control
they give us strength they make us strong
able to face whatever this life brings along
