Mortal strength may sometimes fade like shadows in the night. <br />Courage may tend to melt as butter placed beside heat. <br />But You made me like a mountain standing straight and tight; <br />How strong winds of pain may be, I cannot bend to it. <br /> <br />Chariots of my possession may flee before my face <br />As my enemies would unite to go against me. <br />However, I will remain in love with Your embrace <br />Secured that evil shall never have the victory. <br /> <br />Reefs of corals exist under every crashing wave. <br />No matter what the behavior of an ocean is, <br />There is a song behind that helps me to remain brave <br />To face the wrath of anything that disturbs my peace. <br /> <br />New and greater strength shall always prevail in my life <br />Lasting sweetness endures after every bitter strife. <br /> <br />http: //www.poemhunter.com/obed-dela-cruz <br />http: //www.poetfreak.com/poet/ObedDelaCruz <br />http: //obed-dela-cruz.blogspot.com/ <br />http: //princeobed.multiply.com/ <br /> <br />Copyright © 2010 by Obed Dela Cruz <br /> <br />(July 4,2010; Marikina City) <br /> <br />(This poem is written by Obed Dela Cruz.
