You Will
Part I.
The question is not if you will suffer…
You will
Nor is the question if you'll have loss…
You will
The question is not if you will fail…
You will
The question is:
How will you suffer?
How will you lose?
What will you do when you fail?
Part II.
Will you be among the few
Reduced by heat, reborn a jewel?
Or will you be the frothing dross,
Skimming the surface before itʼs tossed?
If when others laugh at you
You join the laughter, too
And when you suffer no one knows
But you, the stronger onward go
When your nameʼs bee' shattered
You pick up the pieces scattered
And with bloody, broken hands
Pull them together again
With forgiveness suffering long
For those who've done you wrong
Then you my friend will be strong
…You will
