Misfortune

When misfortune follows misfortune like violent waves
I get frightened by the deadly surge
I look for shelters like covered caves
An unknown person inside me makes frantic urge

It seems that misfortune will never end
My mere existence will face painful doom
I passionately hope  for a benevolent friend
Who will take me to a safe home

Suddenly a strange voice starts to mutter
I stare around to see the person
Something seems to move and flutter
I feel that somebody delivers a sermon

I get courage from the words of wisdom
Misfortune begets fortune and freedom

one misfortune can lead to fortune...yes, from our mistakes, trials, and tribulations, we learn and we grow...and we find it just another step forward in life as we step over the misfortune and gain from the experience of it.

It is often our misfortunes that lead us on a path to that which is a true fortune! We must understand how we may take the pain of our maladies and make good of them.
Your words are uplifting and encouragement to carry on midst the trials and tribulations of our life!
