Where do you get your strength?

I wish I could carry your hope in my heart,
and draw upon it, when my world falls apart.
Where do you get your strength?
Is it something I just haven't learned, or something I just lack?
The patience you show, to the world,
your kids, your wife,
I wish I could find your optimism,
through so much grief, and strife.
I wish I could see what you see,
When I look at this life.
