Strong

Strong.

Do you know the meaning?

Of this extremely powerful word?

Will.

The will to live,

Is a strong one,

Do you have it?

Have you stood,

Through the down pour,

Wondering if you'll ever,

See him again?

Have you watched the,

Strongest person you know,

Fall to pieces before,

Your eyes?

In the eye of the storm,

Have you seen,

Your very foundations,

Crumble?

The pain that stabs,

Through your very core,

Have you felt it?

Do you know,

What it truly is to be

Strong?

Will you ever know,

The strength in your neighbor?

Your best friend?

Adult, Child, Young, Old,

You may see them as weak,

Do you know the story?

Behind their tired eyes?

Have you seen,

What they saw?

For you do not understand,

The strength that they endure,

You may never know,

The wonders they have overcome.
