Slings of Arrow

I

You hurt

You struggle

You take the slings

Of arrows

But you come back for more

Even when

The odds are

Stacked against you.

Strength doesn’t come

From brute strength

Alone

But from a will

And

Determination.

So, take those

Slings of arrows.

Pull them out!

And keep coming back.

To show your true strength.

(for Garet).
