Weak Things (Poem)

Ether 12:27 - "... for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."

Do you remember the time
when I stumbled at the last?
A failure over a success,
opportunity barely passed.

Funny how when that happens
I seem to think it's only me.
That others next and just beside
find only victory.

Even if my next-door neighbor
triumphs in what I don't,
I can at least be assured
in all that I have sown.

In some things, I am weak.
The difference, I am strong.
And with my strengths, I'll have
the chance to help others along.

So if I trip or fall, I will
now pledge to rise again.
Just because I bruised my knees
doesn't mean it's over with.
