I am still myself
though my outward be changed
inside lives the soul
God created
undiminished
the same
I water it with hope
plant seeds of courage inside
though all beauty be taken from me
my soul still resides
the life I built
remains intact
love and goodness
whole and fast
I be changed some
but the things that make me
remain strong
I catch hope where I can find it
hold it tight
to take me through this night
and find daylight
*Salem Bush gardens, OR*
Beautiful.
