You Will

Part I.

The question is not if you will suffer…

You will

Nor is the question if you'll have loss…

You will

The question is not if you will fail…

You will

The question is:

How will you suffer?

How will you lose?

What will you do when you fail?

Part II.

Will you be among the few

Reduced by heat, reborn a jewel?

Or will you be the frothing dross,

Skimming the surface before itʼs tossed?

If when others laugh at you

You join the laughter, too

And when you suffer no one knows

But you, the stronger onward go

When your nameʼs bee' shattered

You pick up the pieces scattered

And with bloody, broken hands

Pull them together again

With forgiveness suffering long

For those who've done you wrong

Then you my friend will be strong

…You will
