Strong Enough - Re-posted

However strong I seem to be

I still break easily.
My heart’s more fragile than you think,
My spirit’s not as free.
 
I’ve cried myself to sleep some days,
Hoping dawn would not rise.
Yet still I found reason to sing
As the sun touched the skies. 
 
For I don’t let it hold me down,
I don't let it hold sway.
I wipe my tears, pick up my heart
And make a better day. 
 
God promises that tears will pass
And I trust Him always.
For He has not abandoned me,
Even on my worst days. 
 
2 Corinthians 4:8-9  
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
