Adversity Knocks

When you cannot do everything you desire
do what you can and don’t require

More of yourself than you are capable of doing
what’s necessary, only the things ensuring

You remain upright
Try to stay in the fight

never throw in your only towel
who cares if in pain you howl

Your determination to stay in the fight
Is the only thing keeping you upright

Adversity is good for me
building character others see

Perhaps they are fighting too
It encourages them to see what you do

When you reach your breaking point
slow down, think things out, and make life count

Adversity always opens a small window
Will you stand or fall? Only you know
