A Lotus Can Grow

by June Sargent

Repetition Contest Winner 
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
