Hammered into Shape
Life, a hammer pounding down
we negotiate its every blow
the hardships to avoid, prosperity aimed
our souls like forged steel endure
every strike shapes us anew
each pain pushes us to bear
more heartbreaks that hurt
and tear us apart
the fire's forge burns but shapes
our capacity to bear more sorrow
transformed by trials our fight resolute
to keep on fighting to survive
yet in the end the blows
will find us fair and true
sending us to another stage
where other hammers beat us down.

We fight to survive life's choice. We keep hammering away at the problems. Keep on writing.

The hardest trials and tribulations sometimes feel neverending... It's often those harshest lessons that can shape us... but every once in a while there's a smidgen of pure goodness (in comparison) that leaves indelible marks, too. I love this insightful and honest piece. It truly resonates, Grace.
