The blossoms are small, fragile, and short-lived. But the vine offers so many flowers that one may not notice the fallen blooms underfoot. The secret of this plant is its strong roots and vine, attaching itself to a structure and growing stronger every year, until the base of the vine gets as huge as a tree trunk. It could be the official flower for Survivors. By looking in the eyes.
Some pain leaves no bruises, Some tears bring forth no cries.
The first sign of a Survivor Is a loss that hurts so deep, Be it illness, fear, abuse, despair, Or a loved one gone to sleep. A Survivor is one who's faced hell And come back still able to smile. Or whose heart has been broken awhile. Survivors come in all shapes and worlds, And their ranks are not limited by age. They may have been children abandoned Or forced to turn an unwilling page.
