Steel Resilience in Adversity

Resilience

By C.S LEWISPublished 7 months ago 2 min read

In the crucible of life, we find our mettle,

Forged in the fires of adversity's kettle.

Steel, unyielding, unwavering, and strong,

In the face of hardship, it can do no wrong.

From the depths of the earth, it is unearthed,

A testament to resilience, its worth proclaimed.

A symbol of strength, of unbreakable will,

In the harshest of trials, it stands firm and still.

In the heart of the foundry, where the flames burn bright,

Steel is crafted, shaped in the dead of night.

Molten rivers flow, like a river of dreams,

As it emerges anew, it gleams and it gleams.

In the face of adversity, steel takes its stance,

A warrior of endurance, in life's endless dance.

It weathers the storms, it withstands the test,

Its spirit unbroken, in the midst of unrest.

A blade in the hand of a noble knight,

Or a tower that pierces the heavens' great height.

Steel is a guardian, a protector, a friend,

In the darkest of hours, it will not bend.

When the world seems unkind, when the path is unclear,

Steel offers us guidance, dispelling our fear.

It's the backbone of bridges, the frame of our cars,

In every endeavor, it reaches for the stars.

From the girders that hold our cities on high,

To the rails that guide trains, rushing by.

Steel is the backbone of progress and might,

A symbol of courage, a beacon of light.

In the hearts of the brave, steel finds a home,

A spirit unbroken, wherever we roam.

It's the armor of soldiers, in battle they stand,

Protecting our freedoms, our precious homeland.

In the heart of the furnace, where temperatures soar,

Steel is reborn, ready to endure even more.

In the face of adversity, it rises above,

A testament to strength, an embodiment of love.

For love is the fire that tempers our souls,

Like the fire in the foundry, it makes us whole.

Steel, in its essence, reflects our own plight,

To stand strong in the darkness and embrace the light.

In the face of adversity, we find our own grace,

A reflection of steel in life's endless race.

We learn from its wisdom, its unyielding way,

To be strong and resilient, come what may.

So let us be like steel, unwavering and true,

In the face of adversity, we'll see it through.

For life's trials and tribulations may try to break,

But with hearts of steel, we'll never forsake.

In the forge of existence, where challenges arise,

We'll emerge like steel, with unclouded skies.

Resilient and unyielding, in the face of all strife,

For we are like steel, the heroes of life.

    Again from the seas to outer space to the workings of a steel mill. Emotion and rhyme scheme when it counts.
