Life’s Battle

by: Ariana Strong

​

Challenges.

They test. 

They attack. 

They criticize.

With every storm.

With every defeat.

With every demand.

Designed into prisons.

Designed into shackles.

Designed into mountains.

Designed into endless rivers.

 

What is it that can withstand? 

 

It grows.

It blooms.

It is boundless.

With every touch.

With every kiss.

With every “I love you.”

Designed to protect. 

Designed to defend.

Designed to support.

Designed to comfort.

It will conquer all.

It will transcend.

It is shameless. 

It is infinite. 

It is love.
