Out of adversity...

I remember last night, the things you said

The silent tears you cried in bed 

And there with me, your pain you shared 

Faith hung on by just a thread   

I knew not what to say or do 

I remember last night, I cried with you 

And there we lay, I cried with you

And there we lay… …Déjà vu   

I won’t repeat those words you spoke 

I won’t betray – I’d rather choke 

I remember last night, the night I broke 

The night of things we can’t revoke   

Maybe life is best unfair 

And from its ache we learn to care 

Maybe hearts bond in despair 

I remember last night, for I was there

“Out of adversity, valor is born”
