When this happensA
When the road folds beneath your feetB
And your shadow questions your own pathC
Stand Even trembling still standD
Not all storms come to break youE
Some arrive to cleanse the dust of pride and presumptionF
-
When your fall stands before youE
A mirror of missteps and miscalculationsA
Do not curse the ground or the momentG
Trace the pattern of the errorH
Underline the lesson circle the wisdomI
Failure is a silent tutor to the braveJ
Not a grave for the willingK
-
When your mistakes ring louder than your nameL
Do not bury them beneath excusesM
Let them echo through youE
Let them speakN
Then smile not because they were rightO
But because you re wiser now than thenP
Even thunder must fade after it roarsQ
-
When disappointment finds your doorR
Not as a visitor but a squatter in your soulS
Offer it no roomT
It is not your identityU
Only a test of your enduranceV
Mount your courage like a shieldW
Let hope be your hammerH
-
When delay builds fences on your wayX
And time seems to mock your urgencyU
Do not mistake pause for denialY
The stars are never in hasteZ
Yet they shine when they mustA2
Patience is not weaknessB2
It is faith stretched to its fullest formC2
-
When lack wraps chains around your dreamsD2
Do not kneel to the illusion of impossibilityU
Wealth is not always coin or comfortE2
Sometimes it is the fire of refusal to give upF2
Stand again even empty handedG2
For the soul rich in resilience shall never remain poorH2
-
When the world turns cold and silentG
When friends forget and doors closeI2
Be your own warmthJ2
Be your own doorR
Those who rise from ashes are not made of smokeK2
But of unquenchable flameL
-
And if your heart must breakL2
Let it break openF
So something greater may enterH
