UNDEFEATED


Take this moment
A place in time
When love has fallen
Darkness surrounding all your beliefs

Still a light shines in the knowledge
Of a new beginning and another chance
A lily blooms in your heart
Stars fill the night

Warmth comes from all around
Look into the inner depths of self
There in the peace of thought and love
Turmoil turns to calming

Reach out and hold onto a hand
Outstretched with friendship
Unconditional and giving
Don't hold back let it come to you

The hand folds covering your body and soul
Sometimes family, another a stranger
We are never alone
Always there is someone to share in delight and pain

Then the time comes
Rise to the moment
A single glimpse of the universe
The challenge met by the undefeated
