Inspirational Poem

This is a poem I refer to often, to lift me out of being depressed when I start to get down. It's a very strong message and it has a uniquely uplifting tone about it. Hope you enjoy!

Be strong!

We are not here to play, to dream, to drift;

We have hard work to do, and loads to lift;

Shun not the struggle-face it; 'tis God's gift.

Be strong!

Say not, "The days are evil. Who's to blame?"

And fold the hands and acquiesce - oh shame!

Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God's name.

Be strong!

It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong,

How hard the battle goes, the day how long;

Faint not - fight on! Tomorrow comes the song.
