Hidden Powers

A wilted rose still has her thorns,
a ruined home still has its stones.

A mirthless Queen still has her throne,
a sleeping bloom will one day grow.

A fallen star still keeps all hopes,
a frozen stream on spring will flow.

A tired wolf soon more will howl,
a onetime champ will be aye known.
