Like any common man I grope <br />And struggle to survive and be <br />Bold with Dignity and Hope <br />For life is hard and not so easy. <br /> <br />But this I say has made me braver <br />My hardships laid the lessons learned <br />Gave Wisdom, insight, character <br />My joy complete, sincerely earned. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />'And we rejoice in our suffering, <br />because suffering produces Perseverance; <br />Perseverance, Character; and Character, Hope.' <br /> <br />Roman 5: 3-4<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-common-man-i-am/
