Rose From the Ranks

R-ose from the ranks, 
O-vertook as the night fell; 
S-uccess you did achieve, 
A-ttaining a higher level.
L-ow position you once held
I-s elevated to the next; 
N-ew function you fulfill, 
D-ivine duty that you
A-nnex.

C-limbed the tree of triumph
A-scending in ecstasy; 
L-ife's destiny is written, 
E-nding up in victory.
R-ose from the ranks, took every step to improve; 
A-dvanced through the grades, accelerating your move.

B-oosted and highly headed
I-nto another promotion; 
N-ever ever did you boast, 
U-nder the break of dawn.
Y-es, on sixteenth September she remains in member's phalanx; 
A-ccept the well versed woman who rose from the ranks.
