Resilience
Yet Still…She Prevails
Through hard days and long nights
this old soul has weathered many storms upon her sails.
Built with armor and held tight with tough nails,
Her Impenetrable strength,
her fortress of indestructible will.
They’ve tried to wear her down,
Yet still….she prevails.
Does it unnerve you to see her strength?
So break her down and mock her every move.
Does her free spirit terrify you?
So anchor her down and condemn the one you do not understand.
She thirsts for the open sea, to charter and explore new land.
Why then must you always disapprove?
You hold her back, you rip her sails
Yet still….she Prevails.
She was built to rise above the waves.
Her head held high with raised eyes,
her shoulders thrown back, she forges ahead.
Courage etched across her bosom.
Doubt and unworthiness sent to their graves.
She remembers the storms that had exhausted her crew.
Are you proud of what you would do?
Your razor-sharp words used to cut her down, disgrace her.
Your hostile stares you use to intimidate her.
Your black hatefulness that pierced and penetrated her.
All the ways you kicked her down, then built her up, just to manipulate her?
Jealousy extinguished, pride restored,
watching her crew flounder about and fail.
Go ahead, perch upon your pedestal,
turn your back, or look down your nose.
But rest assure, her bow is unbreakable
And Still….she will Prevail.
Years ago a builder built a ship.
He forged it of impenetrable armor.
He held it tight with indestructible will.
Courage carved into her bow for new paths she would charter.
Years ago a builder built a ship.
He gave us each a name.
Mine begins with mother, sister, daughter sewn upon my sails.
For you he did the same.
So I say to all the beautiful ships sailing the open sea,
WE WILL PREVAIL.
