Affliction

Don’t get caught up in momentary woes
afflictions and trials they come and go
they have the power to shape our lives for the good
but only if we respond to them as we should
Some they blame affliction for their hate
and it gives them a platform for their complaints
but others see affliction’s tender blows
that births beauty, strength and growth
The afflictions of life they never cease
no matter your status or your wealth or pedigree
affliction bears its weight upon us all
and the truly strong at heart never crumble or fall
Afflictions in and of themselves are not a joyous thing
but when they are viewed from the right lens then great joy they bring
no affliction is never desired or yearned for
except by those who have tasted affliction’s rewards.
