Under the grasps of the wind,
She was alone in her thoughts
Like the shelves of snow under her home

She was no sacrifice,
Alone under the knee drops of trees,
Her eyes fixed to a longer road,
Where the peaches grew larger

It was no sacrifice,
Her words like the tepid waves along the echo of her voice,
She was no sacrifice,
She was her only hope

So she took her mothers hand
With her father slowly trailing behind,
They went along the road
Where her childhood
Crossed paths with a woman

Scars be known,
Along her legs, in her thoughts
But, today, she was free
For she was no sacrifice,
This was her day to stand on her two feet
Her time to be a woman
And say goodbye to her parents, one last time.

To be one's only hope is not so bad, it is a sign of inner force.

This was intense.

Love,
