Fragile, yet unbroken
Remaining soft-spoken
Perplexed, yet answers found
Feeling free, homeward bound
Deadlocked, yet finding key
Moving on, let it be
Homeless, yet seeing light
Making nightly campsite
Troubled, yet finding peace
Forging life’s brand new lease
Hidden, yet discovered
Finding future covered
Misplaced, yet always found
Sleeping on softest ground
Wounded, yet walking free
Earning final degree
Useless, yet finding worth
Flying high above earth
Hungry, yet always fed
Tasting life’s daily bread
Shortchanged, yet now fulfilled
Making steps, always thrilled
Forgotten, yet now loved
Sharing days with beloved
