Continuity

Out of the ashes rose a flower
struggling to survive
struggling for sunlight
So beautiful the green leaves on the stem
So delicate the purple flower

Standing out amid these gray ashes
Shining like a jewel
Even as life around us seems dark
Life continues to grow
Struggling to find it's way through the darkness

Life looks for a path to the sun
Rising from the ashes to show us that
We can rise above this
Beauty shines among the ashes
