There is a knife in your heart
Your mind’s torn apart
You’re rocked back and forth
And still have remorse
Yet deep in your eyes
A glimmer resides
A laugh after cries
A hello after goodbye
How stunning the visage
Of a strong, young woman
How marvelous in sight
Is she, fighting the good fight
Her eyes are two suns
Her skin, the oak’s trunk
She stands firm and strong
But still knows how to have fun
The darkest nights bring brighter lights
Just like a flame scorched earth
Brings greener birth
So too the tempest she’s in
Will not bring about her end
But will lead her to discover
Where the next chapter begins
So don’t ever be afraid
Don’t ever fear not knowing
For God’s grace is showing
That you have His anointing
You raise weak trees and make them strong
Yet gather petals in your palms
You are a shaper of history
And the turning point in his story
You are the example of true beauty.
