Eye of a Hero

As    the    dust    settled
                              The     young      hero   was      badly 
                       beaten      and      bruised.     As   she   looked 
                  behind   her, she  saw   the   chaos and    devastation 
              she   had    emerged                      from. Deep in her heart 
           she    realized     that                          she   was    grateful for 
        all    the     tribulations                           that      the     battles   of
           yesterday            had                         brought.    Because    it 
             birthed the    strength,                   fortitude  and character 
               that heroes are       made  of.  From those       qualities 
                 the   bright    days   of    peace  and       prosperity 
                     came   to    be.   Her   heart   began  to  heal, 
                          she    looked    tomorrow   in  the eye,     
                                    and    smiled  from    within.
