She still stands, stronger than you thought
Though not the outcome that you sought
For any challenge she will always rise
All those that urge her to quit she defies
She’s not your puppet led by strings
Not your slave or one of your things
And when all that she is you fail to see
Deep in her heart she will set herself free
The greatest gift you just let slip
Through your fingers and from your grip
And with another she will finally find
True passion exists for her heart and mind

Wow. The rhymes and rhythms in this poem were flawless. I love how it didn’t take away from the message at all. My favorite line:
She’s not your puppet led by strings
Not your slave or one of your things

Thanks Amy! I loved how that line came out sounding too! 🙂

Yes, how many of us do look back and realize someone very worthy slipped through our fingers into the heart of another!

It’s a shame when someone lets someone slip away, but sometimes it really does end up for the better. 🙂
