THE ONE DECISION

From the Test, the Testament

It's from the test that makes the testament,
Each challenge a step, each trial a dent.
Through struggle and strain, we grow, we learn,
In the fire of hardship, our hearts will burn.

It's from the mess that makes the message,
In chaos, we find the truth's leverage.
From tangled paths and broken dreams,
Rise the lessons, sharper than they seem.

In every test, there's strength we find,
In every mess, clarity of mind.
Through the storm, we rise and stand,
The testament of courage, in our hands.
