Blooming against the odds
In the desert of doubt and fear,
A flower blooms, resilient and clear.
Like this bloom, we stand tall and bright,
Nurturing our passions, through day and night.
The desert's harsh conditions test our will,
But we draw strength from our inner still.
We brave the burning sand, and weather the storm,
For our dreams are worth the desert's form.
In this arid

Against the Odds
from up the mountaintop
the view glows
it’s so serene
and time hovers
surreal in nature
under a moon that has her eye
on all that’s calm below
the world has agreed
if only for a moment to pause
and set its differences aside

Us Against the Odds
Catch me before i fall
If i fall out of line
I'm hoping you'll catch me
Will kick this habit together
I'll kiss every scar
I'll remind you of who you are
I'll take you too all those places you dreamed of
I'm here to stay
When you get
I'll hold your hand
I'll make sure you take your

God Against the Odds
While kneeling and praying and talking to God;
He said He did not like seeing the sisters at odds.
He was tired of the cussing, fussing and fighting,
He was tired of the gossip, strife and backbiting.
We say we are His children and we love Him so,
And the way we treat each other is as if we don't

Love Against the Odds
Until I saw it for myself,
I never knew the power of
Innocent kisses stolen at every given chance,
the holding of hands throughout the store,
the little moments of pleasure we give ourselves
when we are alone,
just by thinking of that special one;
I never knew the power of
love.
So when,
after undying suffering and pains of
3 month relationships,
broken promises and
hurtful words,
You

Against the Odds
There is a girl
In a world
Far away from here
Where no fear
Can ever be conceled.
Her irritations are followed by
cathartic absolution
And even on the most stormy of
nights,
She glistens in the invisible,
Shinning light.
Her heart;
Can see no wrong
Her eyes;
Brighter then the sun upon dawn
She is what they all strive to be
Perfectly catalized.
In the depth of
