Reservoir of Strength
She moves the swirling tenacious
wind out of her path...
She sways with her tamed breeze...
with her love she has charmed...
In this her day...this day...this life
she reigns...
She greets the moon -
on ragged mountain high...
...as she breathes the nearer -
you'll not hear her cry...
...a single tear - the covenant of her
all...her anger dispelled...her magic
restored...
everything she is and will be...this tear
her signature - her now her all...
...her belief not someone else s truth...
...in a rescued child's smile...
she feels her stolen youth...
...she moves the wind all seasons...
forgotten dreams follow her...
...her path redeemed...
...It is here she'll not falter
...her strength...her belief...
...the wind uncertain - to search a new
direction...this path perplexed...
she'll not cry - only one tear she'll shed...
...her reservoir of strength -
...a tear she'll not cry...
...a tear she'll not share...
this her reservoir of strength...
you will not bend...nor break...
...this her reservoir of strength -
