The old adage
That there is always
Someone worse off
Than you
Is true .
Today I heard
A woman speak
Who has suffered
More than anyone
I've ever known;
Yet somehow,
Through it all,
She has retained
A vibrant,
Upbeat,
And loving spirit,
Focused on her God,
Her family,
And everyone
She considers
A friend,
As she forges ahead
With her life.
With such an inspiration
Before me,
May I also
Face my troubles
With the same
State of grace
And courage.
