Strength dwells in Adversity
58
Oh! Genie
Tell me a fairy tale
For I know
It instructs me with the simplest words.
For I know
Great truths lie hidden behind tiny events.
Suffering, come to me
you make me wise.
Trouble, be my friend
teach me one more lesson,
teach me to think
And when I think
you give me the secret to success.
Darkness, shadow me with your cloud
It is from you, I long for brightness.
Defeat, sting me hard
For you keep me away from frivolity
and steer me towards victory.

Thanks Iounn. It is surely through hard experiences we gain value, knowledge and respect of life. I was trying to convey that.

Dada, I really loved your poems...especially this one!
Thank You both, Anania and Brenda. I wrote this peom after one of my Basketball Game losses while I was studying engineering. Was going through a rough time with my studies too. But I made it through.
Thank all for reading.

I've certainly had these musings about what the good is in sorrow or troubles and you've captured that consideration very nicely. Lovely hub.
