She is a glimmer of hope,

A wondrous spark of joy;

She is the ray of light,

In a cold, blackened world

A reminder that at our core,

The ember flame still burns deep;

Our innermost fiery truths exposed,

If we just bravely seek

Layer by layer,

She may have come undone;

But once-severed fragments,

Now merging to become one

Through desperation,

She has found hope once more;

Her purpose reignited,

In the most hostile of wars

Floating through nautical dreamscapes,

Or planting her feet on firm grounds;

No matter the path she chooses,

Safety, growth, and voyage abound

No matter the chaos,

Near or yonder turbulent storms;

Her inner compass will guide her,

O’er choppy swells, to sounder shores
