It seems like a dream, a fleeting haze,
That the years have slipped into the maze,
The past now sleeps beneath the tide,
While today recounts where sorrows reside.
Yet in the echoes of each groaning sigh,
A melody blooms where pain once cried.

My weeping was a river carved in stone,
Each tear a verse, each sob a tone.
Now the current sings of triumph's crest,
The waves of anguish laid to rest.
For even shadows cannot chain the sun,
Its beams proclaim what grief had begun.

Once, shame's cruel whispers stole my name,
A story etched in the ink of blame.
But time rewrote it, line by line,
With threads of hope, now brightly shine.
Fame hums the tune of trials endured,
While favor’s hands hold scars once blurred.

The fields of labor bore fruit unseen,
Where sweat and soil birthed golden sheen.
And though the storms had rent the sky,
Each drop has blossomed, no tear denied.
The soil of pain grew roots of grace,
A garden of joy now claims the space.

So dreams awaken, their wings unfurled,
Rewriting the script of a fractured world.
From ashes rise the voices untamed,
Once silenced by fear, now proudly named.
For every scream once silenced in dread
Is now the anthem of life, instead.
