LOTUS FLOWER

Living in a dark place for most of your life

And still, your beauty shines through

To have the ability to rise from the trials and tribulations

Even though it’s hard and sometimes you feel like you want to give up

You find the strength to get through it

So delicate yet so resilient

You are one of a kind

You are a symbol of me
