So difficult to recognize,
the look that lives within her eyes.
A knowing stare,
blank fiery glare,
afraid to dare,
full of despair.
Unable to just sit and sigh,
then fall asleep on comfy lies,
searches for proof,
swims in pure truth,
irons till smooth,
seamlessly soothes.
Refuses to chew on hurtful hate,
all past resentments left to fate,
strong will proceeds,
at lightning speed,
jumps to succeed,
climbs and exceed.
Must learn to balance light and dark,
unfastens fears, brightening sparks,
Forever brave,
breaks heavy chains,
ignites the flames,
erases shame.
Promises to answer inner calls,
all of her senses stand up tall,
builds what she sees,
flow with the breeze,
infinite peace,
offers great ease.
A solemn vow to spread warm light,
extend her hand, help hearts unite.
Throws a long rope,
helps others cope,
tilts all steep slopes,
provides great hope.
