Still, one rises


Still, one rises

Still one rises

*****

Have not,

we known defeat

have not,

we struggled in life

have not,

we experienced the loss of a loved one

still, one rises

*****

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” — Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
