In the silence, in the storm,
Where hearts are tested, minds reform,
Fortitude stands firm and tall,
A guiding force through rise and fall.
It does not bend to fleeting fear,
Nor waver when the end draws near,
With steady hands and sharpened sight,
It marches forward into night.
When trials press and shadows loom,
Fortitude does not assume
That ease will come, or pain will cease,
But walks with patience, seeking peace.
It is the strength to bear the weight,
To stand when others hesitate,
In every step, a lesson learned,
In every loss, resilience earned.
So when the road is rough and long,
Fortitude will keep you strong.
