HARDSHIP GROWS CHARACTER

C.S. Lewis.

Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for an extraordinary destiny.

Hardship Grows Character

His life inside a shell is safe indeed

He is given all he ever needs

Irresponsible and too soft to compete

Does he really believe his life is complete?

Walking around and around inside the fence

Never a need for self defense

Penned inside and cannot run

Never free to get something done

Being gentle is not the same

As being able to play the game

Competitors challenge and go untouched

He has never had to fight too much

A man who faces tumultuous times

Fighting back against modern crimes

He has grown through hardship a stronger man

He has learned to fall and stand again

Gentle inside but tough enough

Wary enough to show mistrust

Hardened by his life experience

Yet understanding those who lack significance
