Stand tall,
Alas, it isn’t the fall,
But the recovery that’ll define you most of all.
It is the ability to go on,
And find intense beauty and fun,
When all your hard work has been unfairly undone
Stand tall,
Inevitably, you’ll hit a wall.
And, with that, your momentum will likely stall.
But this path is not a quick dash, but a marathon run,
So, take a deep breath- your journey has just begun.
Stand tall,
Remember, this setback isn’t your downfall.
Instead, you’re positioned in the sacred liminal.
The peaceful place between the rise and the fall.
Take small, brave steps to ensure each lived moment is won.
And, with a newfound momentum, venture forward and whisper:
“Well done”
