If You Had to Define "Life" in One Word, What Would It Be?

Life bends but does not break,

A river carving through stone's embrace.

In storms, it sways, it learns, it grows,

Through shadows deep, its strength it shows.

It whispers hope in the darkest night,

Rises with dawn, chasing the light.

In trials fierce, it finds a way,

To bloom anew, another day.

From ashes cold, it builds its fire,

From endless falls, climbs ever higher.

With every breath, it dares, it tries—

Resilience is the soul that never dies.
