Strength

“Play to your strengths” Old Mad-Eye growled.
Harry Potter looked askance.
A gigantic dragon was to be fought!

Preparing to meet a new challenge,
like facing a fire breathing dragon
beckons a ‘play to your strengths’

Sudden challenges call forth 
strength unknown and untested.
Distant challenges for strength slowly built

But sometimes a set challenge
when a night was short and a day job is long
finds no strength to be gathered at all.

“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
