Struggles - poem by Tendai M. Shaba

Trouble after trouble
So much trouble
Struggle after struggle
So much struggle
I hope you will open your eyes and see
There’s a lesson in that, don’t suffer for free
Learn from your suffering
To build your character
To build your attitude
To build your mentality
Because you are
Your mind, body and spirit
I hope you will open your eyes and see
There’s a lesson in struggles and hardships
Learn from your struggles
To build your mind, body and spirit
And to be all you can be
