Standing Strong = Strength is a poem that depicts how no one can determine the outcome of life.

He watches the layers reveal the truth, knowing he must move forward. He realizes love can survive the darkest times as it becomes stronger behind closed doors.

He discovers a new path full of hope that gives him the strength he needs to overcome weakness.

Standing Strong = Strength

Ocean calls the final wave,
life’s decision is unmade,
no turning back
the shell of comfort.

Forge ahead within the truth,
layers disappearing,
love survives the deepest depth
behind closed doors.

A new path
comes to light,
bringing hope beyond all challenges,
giving strength when weakness
tries to overcome.
