              <text>A Lady's Heart, Unchanged Within&#13;
A heart like a pearl, beneath the ocean's sway,&#13;
Through crashing waves and sunlit spray, it holds its way.&#13;
In youth's soft dawn, a glow so pure and bright,&#13;
Unburdened by the world, a beacon in the night.&#13;
Life's storms may come, with thunderous roar,&#13;
Leaving scars unseen, upon the tender shore.&#13;
But still, the pearl within, its luster does not fade,&#13;
Just layers of resilience, a protective shade.&#13;
Through laughter's dance, and tears that freely fall,&#13;
The heart remains, a fortress through it all.&#13;
In love's sweet embrace, a gentle warmth it keeps,&#13;
A sanctuary where joy in secret sleeps.&#13;
With every loss, a barrier may arise,&#13;
A wall of strength, to guard against the skies.&#13;
Yet, even in the shadows, when hope seems so frail,&#13;
The heart's true essence, never will fail.&#13;
For in the depths of time, where memories reside,&#13;
The lady's heart, with love, will always abide.&#13;
A treasure hidden deep, though veiled by life's design,&#13;
A radiant jewel, forever meant to shine.&#13;
