Chapter 15: Rise

Chapter 15: Rise 

I will rise

After every fall 

I will rise

and stand even more tall 

I will rise

over the wall 

I will rise

above them all 

Like the sun

which never dies

though sets every night

every day it does rise 

Like the ocean

whose tides

many times they are down

but invariably they rise 

Like the trees

from seeds they arise

and heights great

they rise and rise 

After falling once,

twice and thrice

Again and again

I will rise and rise 

I will rise

after every fall 

After every fall

I will rise
