Given the fragility
of life, Each of us remains a miracle, Though new emerged from some bright sea of pain. When every second feels just like a knife Entering the soft flesh of the will, Life whispers soon we will be well again. Linger, then, along the edge of shade; Soon enough you will be in the sun, Open-armed, erect, and unafraid. Old wounds remind us of fierce battles won, Nor will our patient faith not be repaid.
