Notes About The Poem

Write Nine Beautiful Lines (With A Twist) Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Constance La France. Date written: 03/30/2025

Conqueror

all things can be done through Christ - Phillipians 4:13

 defying seemingly insurmountable odds 
 a self-destructive, long-time drug addict 
   revived from an overdose a few times 
    many people had mustard seed faith 
  in her chances of defeating her demons, 
    but by the grace of the Lord, she did.
 despite towering mountains of obstacles, 
    she managed to make a full recovery 
      isn't this what resilience looks like?
