                                                  A beautiful rare flower 
                                              sprung up out of the center
                                           of the desert only to be greeted 
                                  by the hostel environment of the scorching sun. 
                                            After days and weeks had past!
                              the brutality of the mighty desert had almost claimed
                                the very part of the flower that had brought it life.
                                                   Frail and dehydrated
                                    the flower found what little strength it could
                                                   to call upon its roots.
                                           Give me the strength to push on! 
                           help me to defeat the inner blackness that surrounds me! 
                                           and give life to my soul once again. 
                                           Help me to breath beauty into my 
                                                         surroundings
                                        and may the light of the scorching sun 
                                                bring purity and protection.
                                                       Against all odds!
                                        the flower survived the inner darkness 
                                                    of the mighty desert.
                                                      Through the faith 
                                               of its roots and the light that 
                                                         surrounds it.
                                              The flower is forever Radiant!
