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
