You are like the roots of a tree,
Hidden in darkness, away from the world to see.
The strength you have been holding onto,
The pain and the growing you’ve been going through.
You are like the seed of a plant,
Holding on by a thread of hope and chance.
Carefully protected by its gentle coat,
Covered in faith, doing your best to stay afloat.
You have travelled the rocky waves of the water,
Trying to reflect and not falter.
Upon the depths of your soul and your heart,
Swimming through storms, so you don’t fall apart.
Despite everything that has come your way,
You are still here, thriving today.
Doors may have shut, but there is still light to come,
So please just know, your time is not yet done.
There’s still so much for you to explore and see,
In this world, where you’re meant to shine and be free.
For the gifts within you are waiting to soar,
So may you receive everything you’ve hoped for.
So never give up,
Even when the road feels steep.
For every promise planted within your heart,
Is yours to nurture and to keep.
The darkness is only preparing the ground,
Where purpose and hope are quietly found.
For every root grows deeper before it can rise,
To reach towards the light beyond the skies.
Keep walking with courage, one step at a time,
Even when the path feels impossible to climb.
For beyond every obstacle waiting in your way,
A brighter tomorrow is already on its way.
One day you’ll stand where you once longed to be,
Looking back at the person you used to see.
You’ll smile with gratitude, knowing you’ve come this far,
Because even in darkness, you never forgot who you are.
