Time is a clock – tick tock,
Houses its hands in motion, sounding
Intense ticks that project clear
Signals of constant change.

That all things feared
Open up unusual
Opportunities for growth,

Showing our souls
How to harness and face
All challenges that create
Lessons ready to be approached,
Learned and mastered.

Persevere and rise
Against all obstacles,
Severe or small; remembering
Setbacks are only temporary.
