There are times when she hurt,
When she was bruised.
Sometimes she suffered,
And felt torn apart.
Completely shattered.
But sometimes when things are falling apart,
They may actually be falling into place.
Instead of becoming pieces,
She was a mosaic of the battles she had won.
We are all broken,
But that's when the light can shine through,
To create something beautiful.

"She was brave and strong and broken all at once."
