To be Strong

To be in near constant pain,

Whether physical or mental.

One can determine the strength of your character and resilience.

One can determine their bravery and patience.

A person who is in pain, is stronger than one who has not experienced strife.

One can pretend the pain doesn't bother them, or they can accept it.

One can experience happiness while in a world of absolute pain.

For this person is aware of the fleeting moments, soon the pain will come back.

That is strength, to be strong enough to enjoy happiness no matter how small.

To love truly, and to rejoice in every happy moment
