Unbroken

‎I really liked this when I read it over at Kelly's site www.rawarrior.com so I'm reposting it. 

 "Unbroken"

I bend but I do not break. 

 I crack but I am not in pieces.

 I may be bruised but I am not damaged

. I am shaken but I am not shattered.

 I can be wounded but I cannot be destroyed.

 I may cry tears but tears will not dissolve me. 

 I can stumble but I will rise.

 I may sit down in acceptance but I will stand up in action. 

 I can be hurt but I will heal.

 I may be very discouraged but I will become very determined.

 I am not broken. 

 I’ve been bent, but life has bent me.

 I am bending, but I am choosing to bend.

 As I am bending, I am strengthening and mending. 

 I am still alive and standing. 

Death is final, but life is everything that has bent me but does not break me.
