A poem I wrote, inspired by my painting of the same name.

Resilience

Original poem by Francesca Bandino

You are strong

And wonderful

You will withstand

And adjust to

All the challenges

That come your way

You will fight back

You will be

Brave enough

Resilient enough

To make it through

Another day

And all that you lack

You will make up for

In your ability

To make due

With what you have

Take shape

And rearrange

So that anywhere you go

You will shine

Beneath

The light of the sun
