Stands Alone

She stands alone
Both tall and true
The perfect picture of solitude
The soul of a women enclosed in bark
Alone she's faced the storms of life
The wind and rain
Disease and strife
Others gave up
But no not her
And there she stands for all to see
She's had her share of trouble and woes
But she made it through
And she still grows on
Look at her and you will know grief and pain
I've faced the wind
I've faced the rain
But i still stand tall
Though life may beat me
I will not fall
It may throw punches
I may take a blow
But in the end
I too shall grow
Each storm i weather
Increases my strength
And beneath this skin
My soul's to think
I know what to do
Count on myself
And I'll make it through
