No Moment Wasted.........

A current ran, a spark took hold,
A story whispered, brave and bold.
She walked in light, a spirit bright,
An inner glow, dispelling night.


Focused now, on what tomorrow brings,
Like an athlete poised, with hopeful wings.
The thrill of victory, her spirit's quest,
No agony of defeat, putting her to the test.


Though her past holds trials, ups and downs,
Her vision's clear, no clouded crowns.
Upon her path, no shadows play,
No deception taints her righteous way.


Her inner fire, a brilliant, steady gleam,
Fulfills a deep and vital dream.
No simple path, but one so true,
A strength in all she journeys through.
A melody, a gentle, rising sound,
Where quiet resonance is found.


Should you find her, know this truth untold,
Her spirit's not for easy hold.
Your truth and mind, she'll surely test,
For she deserves nothing but the best.
No moment wasted, nothing less,
She's earned this strength. She's passed the test. ©
