This journey has not been all peaches and cream
Just like most, I've experienced some suffering
But I am reminded of the spiritual fruit
And how "long-suffering" is one of them too
It takes determination to constantly press through
When you are surrounded by negative attitudes
But there is an innate power within
That helps you to get through any and everything
Sometimes we forget to dig real deep
So we feel the sting of our suffering
But we have what it takes to overcome
Through meekness, self-control, peace, joy and love.
