Rough Roads

Rough Roads
The journey we walk is not always kind,
With twists and turns that boggle the mind.
The road ahead is rough, uneven, and steep,
But through the challenges, our promises we'll keep.
Through valleys of darkness and mountains of woe,
We press on with hope, refusing to let go.
Tripped by obstacles, we rise from the fall,
For on this rugged path, we stand tall.
The rough roads of life may test our will,
But we gather strength and continue uphill.
Each stone and thorn, each bump and bend,
Only fuel our determination to reach the end.
So let's embrace the struggle, the toil, and the strife,
For it's on these rough roads we truly find life.
With every step forward, we grow ever strong,
On this tumultuous journey where we all belong.
