LIKE PETALS OPENING FROM A YOUNG SPRING FLOWER,
SLOWLY, TENTATIVELY, REACHING SKYWARD. DEW DROPS
SPARKLING IN THE MORNING LIGHT BURSTING WITH LIFE, THAT IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU START OVER AFTER LIVING IN FEAR WITH AN ABUSIVE SPOUSE.
WITH EACH DAY GROWING STRONGER, LIKE PETALS IN THE FLOWER, UNFOLDING GOING CAUTIOUSLY FORTH SEEKING STRENGTH BEAUTY AND FULFILLMENT. THE WIPING WINGS MAY BEND MY DELICATE PEATALS AND SOME WILL FALL, BUT I WILL GROWN NEW ONES AND THE PETALS THAT BLOW AWAY IN THE WIND I WILL PUT BEHIND ME. I WILL KEEP GROWING STRONGER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL WITH EACH PASSING DAY AND ALTHOUGH IT MAY RAIN SO HARD I WILL DROOP, THE SUN WILL BUST FORTH AND DRY MY WILTED PETALS AND I WILL GROW TO MATURITY AND THE SEED I DROP INTO THE RICH EARTH WILL KNOW NO FEAR.
