I SurviveThis heart has pioneered mountains majestic
and made wake in angry seas__in the name of love
When rains came__I braved their cold onset
and shielded my heart with hope__to keep from drowning
in a taunting, vacuous, ocean of greyYet as ever--
A wildflower always flourishes in my garden heart
sowing its essence through all fiery winds of change
A small spark in turmoil__does carry my trouble wayward
Always to thrive__and take courage when life does rearrangeThis love of life is my strength of will
And through change and chaos__I know my heart of hearts
__ can still
__ conquer loss__ and lead me onward
__ to survive!
