Example Poem/Song Using Tough
Life’s rough, they say, and tough to bear
We need to be strong and learn to share
The rough times will come, that’s for sure
But tough as nails, we must endure
We’ll face tough calls and rough seas
And times when we’re brought down to our knees
But we’ll tough it out and play it rough
And show the world that we’re enough
Tough as a rhino or a lion, we’ll be
Tenacious and determined, just wait and see
A diamond in the rough, we’ll shine so bright
And overcome any challenge with all our might
With rough edges, we’ll become refined
Tough and resilient, our spirits will bind
Our hearts and minds, rough and ready
For whatever comes, tough and steady
So when life gets tough, just remember this
You’re rough as guts and you’ll never miss
With toughness in your heart and soul
You’ll reach your goals, and be made whole.
