our challenges are as unique as our gifts

our challenges are as unique as our gifts


I don't know about you, but I focus on the challenges I face
I obsess over my obstacles and the turns taken in my race
When I think of the path I've taken, I think of the doors that were locked
Where I've forced them open and where I have been blocked


our challenges are as unique as our gifts


And when I look at others, I'm often prone to jealousy
I see wonderful gifts and talents that seemed to miss me
But I also wonder about the things people struggle over
On things I did easily or if I forget how tough they were


our challenges are as unique as our gifts


We all have different scars. We've healed in different ways.
Some folk do in seconds what takes other people days.
Your heroes all had flaws but were likely bettered by the battle
You can learn from all people but beware that they are brittle


Our paths through life are our own. We live in different shifts
And remember, dear friend, all people's challenges are as unique as their gifts.
