True strength

by nicole   Mar 20, 2006


A weak person will die,
it takes a strong one to live.

A weak person will hate,
you must be strong to forgive.

Anyone can cuss,
it takes a strong one to hold their tongue.

A weak person can be old,
they always forget how much strength it takes to be young.

Anyone will make a promise,
but only the strong one's, do their promises keep.

Anyone will cry,
a strong person will mean their tear's.

Anyone will be afraid,
a strong person will have good reason for their fear's.

Anyone can judge,
it takes a strong person to care.

Anyone will be selfish,
it takes a strong person to share.

Anyone can act wise,
but any true wisdom will show through the decision's they make in their lives.

Anyone can be rich,
but the truly wealthy are the one's who always have an extra place at the table to spare.

A weak person can say they "love you", It takes a strong one to mean what they say.

A weak person will tell you what you want to hear, A weak person will put on a show,

but it takes a strong one to be themselves, it takes a strong one to tell you what they know.

Anyone can say "I'm your friend",
but the real one's will be standing with you no matter what people say, till the end.

Every one say's "you can trust me",
but since when hasn't gone hand in hand trust & honesty?

Even a weak person will say they'll give something up for you,
but really still do it their own way,
It takes a strong person to keep the deal good, for the rest of their day's.

In the end many will say "Lord I've followed you, all of the day's of my life,"

But He will say "Why didn't you come when I called to you?
Depart from me I know you not."

But only the real & strong one's, that gave every thing up to follow Him, that dropped everything & invited Him into their lives,

because they heard the knock, not on some idiotic whim.

To God's answer will be "Welcome home my good & faithful servant, in you I am well pleased."
