Through THORNS that PIERCE and trials that sting,
The soul endures what hardships bring.
Yet in the pain, a strength takes root,
A bloom of courage, resolute.
Adversity’s path is sharp and long,
Its shadows DEEP, its winds so strong.
But steadfast hearts refuse to fall,
They rise, and blossom THROUGH IT ALL.
At journey’s end, the roses grow,
Their sweetest fragrance born of woe.
From every scar, a triumph shines,
A crown of roses, LOVE DEFINES.
