Per Aspera Ad Astra

Per Aspera ad Astra

Through adversity to the stars;

There was dirt, there was dust

There were grazes, there were cuts;

The petite shred of hope was blank and meagre

The beat in my heart was sanguine and eager

Per Aspera ad Astra

Through adversity to the stars;

Let there be “no” light, I will still believe

I will not conceal my wounds, nor will I conceal my scars

The hope can be watered, so let it grow, let it grow

The will must not falter, be it slow, let it flow;

The world will know about the bloody scars

“Per Aspera ad Astra – through adversity to the stars….”
