Rose

My chains of adversity

Were a catalyst for me

I rose

Nothings else could hold me down

Feet planted on the solid ground

I rose.

The agenda to my demise

Have caused me not to shrink but rise

I've taken myself by surprise

For, I rose.

When sinking sand was all around

In temporary despair I've found

Inside of me is solid ground

I rose.

I'm resilient though I'm not perfect

I know that every trial is worth it

There are time's when I've faced loss

Every lesson has a cost

Faced with fear at times, I've froze

Yet after awhile

I always rose

Rose because I am a story

Risen for a greater glory

Shining is not mandatory

Yet its a choice, I chose.

Life has shoved, has pushed me down

Storms whip the strongest rocks around

I may fall but this I know

After facing it all

I rose.
