Being worn away bit by bit.
From situations I’ve encountered;
I’m still trying not to forget.
For what my father once said.
Every challenge helped you to be
Into a stronger version of yourself.
In every struggle, it will open your eyes.
That after storms, there’s always brighter skies.
Offer every hardship to the Lord.
With love in your heart and not greed.
With positive actions and doing good deeds.
He never forsakes you, and you will be blessed.
So I’ll keep my spirit whole and unbroken.
Even though there are times I’m defeated.
I will rise up, and I’ll keep moving.
With the mantle of hope covering my head.
With faith, I’ll embrace my every struggle.
With acceptance, I’ll learn from every obstacle.
For every lesson and wisdom I’ve learnt
For my growth, I will use them as my guidance.
There are times I feel down and feel sick.
But I’ll make sure I’ll never lose my faith.
I’ll rise above each hardship I’ve faced.
And I’ll keep walking forward on this earth.
I’ll keep pushing forward step by step.
Even if it’s slow, my heart is still full of hope.
And my father’s words of wisdom I’ve kept.
In my growth and troubles, I’ll use them to cope.
