Dedication:
To mine and all daughters — may you face life’s lights and flames with courage, grit, and unwavering hope.
Navigating life’s narrow lanes today, takes grit.
The route is clear — education, perseverance.
Eyes fixed ahead, she charged toward the light.
The light was a flamethrower, unexpectedly.
Society favours the fair, the pretty, the wealthy.
She continued moving, step by step, unaware.
So when the light turned to fire, she was ready.

Oh, I love your conclusion.
ReplyDeleteNice I love that she kept moving and that she was ready That's strength
