The fragrant spring air
Enticed her senses
As she walked through the garden
Her mother had planted
To form inviting paths
Through their large backyard
She needed this time in nature
To clear her head
She needed this garden
To remind her of her mom
She needed this solitude
To find her inner strength
For today was the beginning
Of respecting herself
And shutting off the lies
Lies he has told her for years
Now she can stand alone
Without any fear
And face the future
With a little hope in her heart
