Tough times comes like these
tests, trials and tribulations
tougher the soul and self must be
traverse these and much more
Time and tides heals a lot
toughness coming to the fore
tired one might get and ease
transit these trying times
Troubles, turmoils and tempests all
tread with kith, kin, friends on call
tasks focused, teamed, driven
tried, tested, uncharted, tricks too
Targets must in work and life
timeliness a virtue honed
tears, regrets, gotten over with
try, try again, till success-rewards
Tried tracks ain't enough
yours better better the rest
for, the fittest survives
and the toughest thrives
