to have the agility
the bouncebackabilty
to make a smile
your default style
to shine with grace
on your face
and carry on ...
When ill winds have blown
when bad times are known
when faced with pain and loss
when no-one gives a toss ...
When unpredictability
rocks your calm stability
highlights your fragility ...
When you're tossed about
wracked with fear and doubt
you bear a heavy load
walk a rocky road ...
Family matters
plans in tatters
bodily pain
physical strain
issues at work
colleagues that irk
get you down
make you drown ...
When a cavern of dark
makes sorrow so stark
when colors are gray
day after day …
When there seems no way out
you're filled with self doubt
so full of stress
you're a hopeless mess ...
Can you rise above
like a dove
flying high
in the sky?
Can you turn your back
choose another track
turn away from the black?
Yes, you can.
You can stand on the Rock
on the strong building block
stretch your hand out to knock
on the door that will yield
seek your Strength and your Shield
let your soul be restored
let the Word be your Sword.
And you will soar
on wings for sure.
be given capability
for bouncebackability.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. (Psalm 18:2 NIV)
“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. (Luke 11:9 NIV)
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. (Psalm 28:7 KJV)
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (Ephesians 6:17 NIV)
...but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.( Isaiah 40:31 NIV)

Poetry is quite an art in itself, but you did good. Liked the short sentences.
