O wanderer will you remember,
Life will test you, but it cannot undo you.
Each new morning offers a fresh chance to rise,
And each nightfall holds the promise of tomorrow’s light.
The winds may bite, but they also clear the air,
And the rains, though heavy, leave the earth renewed.
Even in the harshest storms, there is something to be gained—
Strength found in the struggle, clarity from the chaos.
Do not despise the climb, for each step brings its own reward.
The view from the top is but part of the gift;
The endurance you’ve built, the grit you’ve earned—
These treasures no thief can steal.
Do not mourn what was lost,
For the road ahead is full of new beginnings.
Reclaim what’s been taken—not in bitterness, but in boldness,
For each loss holds a lesson, each setback a springboard for growth.
Let go of what you cannot control,
And celebrate what you can shape.
The warmth of sunlight on your face,
Joyful moments shared in laughter,
The kindness you offer a stranger—
These are the seeds of a better world,
Planted by hands that forge ahead through the pain.
Life is not a punishment, but a challenge—
A call to rise, to create, to savor.
And when your story ends, it is not the struggle that lingers,
But the triumph of having lived fully.
