I know I have the strength.
Whatever fruits my labours have sewn,
I know I can last the length.

It's true I've faltered in the past,
I've landed in the dirt.
I've fallen hard and fallen fast,
And yes I have been hurt.

I picked myself up off the ground,
Gave life another go.
I managed to turn my life around,
The experience helped me grow.

Now I know I have the stuff,
To make it through this life.
No matter if sometimes get rough,
I'll make it through the strife.

I know I can make it on my own,
I know I have the strength.
Whatever fruits my labours have sewn,
I know I can last the length.

Good for you, Jenny, you grow girl (Teehee)

It's wonderful to see such a positive poem, proof that though things can be hard, it's possible to work though them and to get something good out of the troubles.

I like how you repeated the first stanza. That's very effective and end the poem well.

Great write,
Phyllis xxx

Love the conviction of strength in this one and it flowed oh so easily.

Thank you very much for a great read, Jenny.
