"Many waters cannot quench love, Neither can the floods drown it: If a man would give all the substance of his house for love, It would utterly be contemned."
Song of Solomon 8: 7 (KJV)
A Cinderella Story

A butterfly emerges from its harsh, ghastly steel coffin
Past cruel indignities forgotten
Victory slays abuse, rejection, and shame
Truth is matchless, peerless, endless
The journey a testing ground
