From the darkest waters a lotus can grow
Around the rocks a river can flow
To beat the odds a child can fight
to reach the top with all his might
From the darkest waters a lotus can grow
If given the chance a teen can show
that crushing poverty and abuse can't hold
him back from improving his life tenfold
From the darkest waters a lotus can grow
Whether infant or adult it's nice to know
that someone cares enough to nurture
our hopes and dreams for a better future

Author Notes
In life's journey where we came from should not dictate where we end up. "The Lotus comes from the murkiest waters, but grows into the purest thing." Nita Ambani
