She Is A Lotus Flower

She is a lotus flower.
Born in the murky waters,
surrounded by luxuriant mud,
weighing her down.
She grows stronger in the dirt.
She evolves, opening her petals,
one by one, trusting the light,
rare and pure as a golden pearl,
nothing can erode her
beauty or break her
unequivocal strength.
She emerges to face
the rising sun,
reaching high,
to seek her potential glory.
She has faith in new beginnings,
There is nothing in this world
she cannot overcome.
