Irony strikes hard as it dawns,
as soon enough you'll see.
For fate has sent me great joy,
on the wings of misery.
Once there was a flower,
touched by fate, left to grow.
But thirteen words of darkness,
buried life under icy snow.
But time is a healer,
and that grey winter died.
Seeing a root left with life,
I tended it inside.
From that root sprang sunshine,
a smile from it did lend.
For even without that flower,
I'd gained a perfect friend.
The key to controlling pain is not to ignore it,
but to accept its presance.
Only then can one be free...
