Poem: You Are Stronger Than You Think

~ Brenda Marie Fluharty

You are stronger than you think,
Though storms may bend your weary frame.
The winds may howl, the skies may darken,
Yet still your spirit guards its flame.

You have carried silent burdens,
Crossed valleys deep and mountains steep,
Survived the nights that seemed unending,
And held on through the tears you keep.

Strength is not the absence of fear,
Nor never falling to the ground;
It is rising with trembling hands
Each time life tries to keep you down.

The cracks within you are not weakness;
They are proof of battles fought.
Every scar tells a story
Of courage that cannot be bought.

So when doubt whispers in the shadows
And tells you that you cannot go on,
Remember all the roads behind you,
And how you’ve reached each breaking dawn.

There is a power within your heart
Greater than any fear you face.
You are stronger than you think—
A soul built not to break, but to embrace.

Thank-you for reading.

  3. Brenda, this is absolutely beautiful. Every word feels like a warm embrace and a gentle reminder that the human spirit is so much more resilient than we give it credit for. The way you’ve captured strength—not as something loud or unshaken, but as rising with trembling hands—is deeply moving. Thank you for sharing this. It’s a gift to read, and I think a lot of people needed to hear it today. You have a wonderful heart and a powerful voice. 💛

    1. Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. Your comment touched my heart more than I can say. I’m especially grateful that the idea of strength showing up with trembling hands resonated with you—that’s exactly the kind of courage I hoped to honor. We often think resilience has to look fearless, when in reality it’s often found in simply getting up and moving forward despite our doubts and struggles.

      Knowing these words connected with you and may offer comfort to others makes sharing them worthwhile. Thank you for taking the time to read, reflect, and leave such a thoughtful message. Your encouragement means a great deal to me. 💛
