Testing Your Mettle

Mettle is the courage to carry on. If someone wants to “test your mettle,” they want to see if you have the heart to follow through when the going gets tough.

It is the bare elements that will test your mettle

Don’t take the easy path, don’t settle 

It seems Everyone is flourishing on the easy road

Even When you fall, stand up and carry your load

Determine your heart to follow the path through

Climbing higher, someday, you’ll obtain a mountain view

Life will bring peaks and hills

With it, much sadness and few thrills

It is only when your mettle is fire tested

You find your self-worth Securely invested

Struggling from pains within

Like Days of cold north winds 

Bring about the signs of spring

New buds and blossoms, flowers sing

If you Allow your mettle to be tested and tried, 

 you’ll build endurance. Glad you didn’t hide

The more purified the metal, quality becomes ideal 

The process is long the endurance is real

Eventually, you reach that melting point

The mettle shines through and no longer disappoints
