SOAK ME

Hit me.

Strike me.

I will carry on.

Soak me.

Shake me.

I will carry on.

Sink me.

Drown me.

I’ll still be here.

PERSEVERANCE

Perseverance

We trudge along in our hard lives.
Suffer through illnesses and deaths.
But we still carry on.
Why?
Why does this flower continue
to hold its head up high?
Hope.
It hopes for warmer days ahead.
We hope for better times.
Hope keeps us alive and warm.
We must never give up on hope.
