She Stood Alone

"a dagger of pain, a tear of grief" Quote by _Constance La France Welcomed to the world with exalted joy,  family waiting for a celestial blessing,  they believed in miracles, believed in prayers, bringing immense bliss, she was the answer!  Life changed, when fate thrust misfortune on her, hurtful words hit her like a dagger from every direction,           she stood alone, resolute, unperturbed...               inflicted, she bled profusely inside.               a shiny mirror shattered into a million pieces!  The rose dried, delicate petals withered and dropped,  one after another, on the hard ground,              There was no noise of the bleeding heart,  No one could see the gaping wound, the secret tear of grief,           No one knew the softness of the flower                turned into a steely determination!
