Her life until now has been full of darkness,
As if she were under a gloomy rain cloud.
Countless nights had she lain awake,
With warm tears falling down her face.

Mourning over a great life lost,
Or a love not returned.
But the time had come that she pined for the light,
And the happiness that she used to feel.

She dreamed of the day she could show her smile,
And carelessly laugh as if nothing were wrong.
So on she hiked through the brambles,
Of the forest that was her life.

The journey was not easy,
It tested her strength and perseverance.
After many trials and tribulations,
A light could be seen.

The light of salvation had finally come.
She stepped out into light.
A ray of sunlight warmed her skin.
Bringing a rosy color to her cheeks.

The wind blew a strand of hair across her face,
Carrying the sweet smell of the flowers to her nostrils.
At last she was free,
To live the life she had always dreamed of.
