It’s Taken From Me And Given to Me Too

It's taken a lot from me
And it's given to me too.
It has brought me to my knees
And it has given me strength
It has forged friendships
And perhaps even broken a few.
It has taught me patience
And to cherish the good days.

It has brought me to faith
And shook my faith too.
It has drawn me closer
And pulled me
Away.

it has taught me to cherish life
And make the little moments memorable.

It has showed me
Strength is not physical
It goes so much deeper.

It gives me strength
And it wears me out.
