She walks with silent dignity.
She holds herself with quiet grace.
She meets your glance with eyes full.
Her eyes filled with life, its twists, and turns, its bitterness its sweetness.
She has seen it all, almost all, yet she lives.
She lives not merely existing but living.
She exudes gentle and solemn confidence.
She has lived loved and hurt.
She has mourned a loved one.
She has felt the pain of empty hands.
She has felt the sting of betrayal.
She has felt the dizzying disbelief of human violence rent upon her.
Oh, but she still dares to hope, to trust.
She believes that she will yet see another good day.
She grabs with all her strength hope that rises in her heart like the breaking dawn.
