Phoenix

The Phoenix rises

Her fire burning bright

There is no darkness

Nor shadow, nor blight

That can darken her passion

Or dim her fight

For she will forge

From pain and presumed ruin

For she will build

From disappointment and confusion

For she will quiet

Those doubters din

For she will rise

She begins again

With compassion and defiance

And a daughter's mirth

With resilience and wisdom

And a lover's thirst

With strength and will

And a heroine's stride

With love and soul

And a mother's pride

She is the Phoenix

From adversities ashes she does rise

She is the Phoenix

Triumph epitomized

A/N:

Wrote this for a friend that was going through a lot and rising above it.  The irony is a lot of the challenges she was faced with over coming her obstacles that she created, or at least did nothing to avoid.  Regardless, the challenges were met and conquered.

Peace out,
