A New Strength 

By Sue Mitchell 

There are times in every life 
when we feel hurt or alone... 
But I believe that these time 
when we feel lost 
and all around us seems 
to be falling apart are really bridges of growth. 
We struggle and try to recapture 
the security of what was, 
but almost in spite of ourselves, 
we emerge on the other side 
with a new understanding 
a new awareness, 
a new strength. 
It is almost as though 
we must go through the pain 
and the struggle 
in order to grow 
and reach new heights
