Engraved

Finally. The time has come to bring to you my very first official poem.

Presenting to you, ENGRAVED

Deep in the heart's core,
A thought arose so sore.
'If only I could break away
From the chains of the distant past.'

The heart is a stone;
Engraved within a message lone.
'Liberty is the greatest gift,
Mercy, the strongest weapon.'

Sculpted with beauty and grace,
She was adorned with the sun's rays.
She was born to nature, to love
Her father's words, her only foe.

Her soul is a burning fire,
Engraved with the deepest desire.
'To love is what I chose
To love is what mankind wants.'

Listen, oh listen to the cry!
She was chosen, without a sigh.
Fine feathers don't make fine birds;
Her future was engraved ere her past.
