Life is full of challenges. Economic difficulties, serious illnesses, 

family problems, and political unrest plague people on a daily basis.

How a person faces each challenge that comes their way, however,

says much about their character, who they are on the inside.

Some people draw strength and inspiration from the experiences of others.

Many famous poets from both the past and present have helped

and inspired people to face and overcome life's many challenges through

the words of their poems. Such poems help people to see they

are not alone in their struggles and that it is possible to overcome their

problems.
