Hard times are often blessings in disguise. Life, well no one said it's gonna be easy. It'll just get harder and harder and for a moment you'll think it spared you, you'll think it's over. And just when you'll let your guard down it'll hit you with full force. Knock you down, but darl,you gotta be strong. You gotta fight back. Till it takes your breath away. That's how you'll know you lived. Those scars and wounds they are something you should be proud of. They are your victory. They are proof you didn't give up. So darl, it'll only get harder, just stay strong,chin up and smile.
