How blessed I am in this life
Even at my lowest times
I have much to be thankful for
Much to appreciate
Much to love about living
The love of my beautiful children
Of my dear friends
A smile and outstretched hand
of a stranger
Even in my darkest hour
I find hope
I find inner strength
Mountains appear
I put another foot forward
Rising to the challenges
Tests passed
Tests before me
I stand strong
My head held high
I'm a warrior
A survivor

wow
Your poetry is divine and it touches me to the core! Though there are times in our lives that we may fall down or be pushed around that isn't what makes a person weak....
It's our decisions that define our level of strength and of character. We can either get back up or push back when pushed - OR - we could also decide to just lie there motionless and let others kick us when we're down. There is great strength in showing restraint as well. Example: Deciding not to let anyone get the best of us by keeping calm when they try to antagonize us { basically not allowing them to have the power to affect our emotions or to draw a physical and possibly violent response from us } We are real warriors because we have managed to overcome life's many challenges { if we hadn't we wouldn't still be here } Though it is tough to maintain our focus on the blessings in our lives we must remember to at least reflect upon them occasionally so that we don't let negativity force us into a depressed state of mind where we begin to take all the good things in life for granted.
This piece was truly an inspiration! It gives me a feeling of hope and strength to face tomorrow - not in fear of what will come - but ready in anticipation! We are true survivors indeed! ~Blessed Be~

"My head held high
I'm a warrior
A survivor"

yes, it feels good when we not only survive, but come off the winner. we can if we keep trying, never giving up to the easy way out. life is life a roller coaster, with its ups and downs, but it will slow if we keep at it and become successful. All the best to you, my friend.

Excellent & Refreshing
It is so comforting to have the ability to count one's Blessings in this life, rather than focusing on the dark side of things!
This is indeed Refreshing as well as a truthful and beautiful message!
Very Well Done!!
