Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
She Climbs
Once upon a fairytale, a young woman
Dressed in a grey flowy dress caresses
Her calf, flies with the winds of change, blesses
Each step on the decrepit stairs as she ran
Up to her waiting destiny, her knight.
Each step closer to her goal becomes
Brighter for hope shines like crimes
Hiding in darkness’ blight.
The baluster along the way
Changes from rotten to golden
As her aim comes closer, all of a sudden
She trips, falls as strong arms carry
The burdens she hauls a weight
Heavier than Atlas’ heavens up to a fine
Glittery tower where its bulk dissipates in line
With the rays that shine on meliorism’s height
That stomps out the blight of despair
That weighs her down, yet, she continues
To strive to achieve optimism’s news
That harken loudly into the pews of heavenly repair.
