"The Tower" Inspired by Violet of Thorns:

The Tower

Like a nightlight in the dark,

the tower’s shadow casts a comforting calm.

As steady as clock hands,

the tower reminds us

that all will come in due time.

The looming presence promises

someone is looking out for us.


Getting to the top

requires more steps

than one can count,

a constant climb that mirrors

the difficult journey

we take to a better future.


Someday we’ll reach the top

and, as if looking out from the tower’s balcony,

we’ll see how far we've come,

take a deep breath,

and be thankful for hard work –

because the view at the end

and the people we’ve become

will be worth it.
