Yesterday's Struggle, Today's Strength


Broken and shattered dreams aren’t easily fixed
The speed of life finding the next fix

Laughs, drama and dirt in moments past
The blink of an eye how long they last

Struggles seem so very small, petty, and cold
Until they take every thing you so dearly hold

So my struggle turns to motivation
Like the cry of a beaten but not forgotten nation

Memories of fallen soldiers sway in the midst
Keeping me sharp to this life’s twists

No more pain my heart can bear
Learning in my grief I have something to share

Pieces of that life continue to ebb away
Replaced with strength for each new day

Looking to the clouds and where they roam
Being viewed by those who’ve gone home.
