Upon the board of life, where destiny unfolds,
In sorrow's depth and troubles manifold,
We're dealt a hand, sometimes less gold,
Yet within us, strength untold.
When life's labyrinth enshrouds, opaque and dense,
In the thunderous night, devoid of sense,
The heart perseveres, its recompense,
The dawn of wisdom, the soul's defense.
Through misfortunes' storm, we sail forlorn,
By a hurricane's wrath, our vessel torn,
Yet within the fire, we're reborn,
A phoenix rising, resolute and sworn.
Obstacles, they rise, colossal and stern,
In the crucible of life, where lessons are learnt,
Yet, with fortitude, the tide we turn,
For it's in adversity, resilience is earnt.
With dedication's sword, we cleave despair,
Persistence's shield, against the unfair,
In life's deafening, relentless snare,
We find within us, the power to bear.
On life's canvas, with its many hues,
In the shadow of misfortune, we infuse,
A light of hope, that renews,
A palette of courage that we choose.
Through the coil of life, we navigate,
Each challenge met, a tribute of our innate,
Capacity to love, to forgive, to create,
Our hearts ablaze, we illuminate.
In recovery's journey, steadfast we tread,
Each step we take, by faith we're led,
Healing's song, in whispers spread,
A symphony of life, in gratitude read.
So, when you're dealt a hand less bright,
Remember, you're born of stardust's light,
In the darkest night, you'll find your might,
For you are a beacon, shining bright.
Accept the cards, given by fate,
In them, find strength to create,
A life resilient, in any state,
Your spirit is unconquerable, truly great.
