With any change taking place in the world these days, we need resilience.

There is much to learn from the Lotus flower, which grows in murky waters. The lotus is positive, has strong support,is adaptable,takes care of itself and is in touch with reality. 

A charming pink flower

Found standing, still radiant, in mud

Growing by the hour

The flower blooms

In waters murky and chugged with filth

Where there is no room

The petals will reveal

No matter the place or tie

When needed, conceal

The stem upright

With the help of resolute eyes

That keep it in their sight

It stands strong

Looks over its own petals and leaves

An form graceful, long

The lotus that will stay so fair

And beauteous through all time

Sturdy in mud, without a care

Lovely flower it stays, that time will stare
