Nic shared this poem at a gathering and I convinced him to give me a copy so I could post it here.
Strives Born of Struggles
As a baby we crawled for miles
Before we learned to walk
We mumbled incoherently
Before we learned to talk
I believe God gave us these struggles
So we would understand
That life’s not easy for babies
And it’s even harder as a man
You see, if we never struggled
Then we would never grow
If you don’t take the time to learn
Then you’ll never ever know
It took me many years
Before I could clearly see
The simplicity and the genius
Combined in God’s plan for me
For how could I appreciate
The joys God has sent my way
If it wasn’t for the pains
I survived from day to day
Without knowing both
How could I compare
How could I understand
If I had not been here
I couldn’t appreciate the struggle
If I never had to fight
If it hadn’t been for darkness
I would never have known the glory of the light
That’s why I am grateful for my trials
For my tears, and for my pain
For they taught me appreciation, gave me wisdom
Both of which are eternal gains
