I Am Strong!


I am neither meek nor weak,
I might look like it but I am not,
I am stronger than you think,
I have struggled more than you can imagine!
If I bared the scars on my life,
You will not be able to count them.
I have won more fights than
What I have led you to believe.
Yes, I do not fight every fight,
Because I have learned what's worth fighting for!
The pace of my walk might seem slower,
But the determination in each step is unbeatable!
The lines on my face do not sufficiently reflect,
The roads and distance I have travelled so far...
I have stumbled and fallen many times,
But every time He raised me up,
Raised me to conquer more ground,
Win more hearts!
My experiences have taught me,
Putting others first requires more courage,
Holding back involves more stamina,
Letting go takes more endurance,
Forgiveness demands more strength!
Just becuase I don't always speak up,
Or I smile when I should frown,
Or ignore when I should fight back,
Know it is not because I am weak,
But becuase I am grounded in faith,
I am focused on the greater good
And I am stronger than the challenge!
