There she stood

In her best-- knowledge is power

Staggered yet lessons learned

With all of life's tests.

Out with the old as her flesh

Molded-- shedding

All troubles,

Healing a troubled soul

Once faint-- turnt bold

Her light died out

-temporarily

Awaken

Resurrected

she rose

In still,

She grows

Blossomed, --she stands

A vibrant, red rose.
