HOW STRONG ARE YOU?

There is a saying:  "You never really know how
strong you are until the time comes that you
need to be."

Some people think they're not
The type of person that can
Handle emergencies or problems--
Doesn't matter whether woman or man.

Sometimes in a matter of seconds,
Things can happen that you have
To deal with--sometimes on your
Own, to offer comfort and be a salve.

It may be a child is sick and
Is hospitalized.  You stay by
Their bedside--losing track of time,
So they know you're there even at night.

Your parents get elderly and
Can't fend for themselves--
You become their caregiver,
They need your love and help.

Someone in your family passes
And you don't think you can
Bear it.  God gives you the
Strength and holds your hand.

Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed
By everything that comes at you,
You may get tired and weary, but you are
Not weak--get help and follow through.

Don't think you're all alone in
This, everyone has their times.
God never gives you more than you can handle--
And guides you over the mountains you climb.
