Bitter Things

Be strong
We are not here to play, to dream, to drift
We have hard work to do and loads to lift
Shun not the struggle; face it
'Tis God's gift.

Phillips Brooks

I thank God for the bitter things;
They've been a friend to grace
They've driven me from the paths of ease
To storm the secret place.

Florence White Willets
