The Faith of a Flower
~ Liza Shaw

Do not question your roots.  No matter how twisted,
Tangled or broken.
YOU STILL STAND.

Grown through cracks
In hard places.
Fractures in
Cold earth.

Raw life force, enduring.
Unsure, yet procuring:
Nourishment, knowledge
And requisite learning.

Do not sway with every random breeze and shower.
Or shrink and cower under
Bitter snows, frozen floes,
Raging torrents,
Undertows.

But allow these to strengthen
And build you.
Not weaken or kill you.
To grow you, to mold you.
Not ruin or fold you.

Throw your entire essence
Into the fiercest of winds
And build your base on the
Very strength against which
You have had to fight.

Grow -- against all odds,
GROW.
And turn yourself
Toward warmth
And light.

Surrender...
and
Blossom.

"The Faith of a Flower" ~ Inspirational Poster




This poster will brighten up any home, office, or waiting room with its empowering message and image.  It is a 18 x 24 in. full-color, professionally printed wall poster designed by Liza Shaw. 

The poem on this poster (printed on the left side of this page) was written by Liza many years ago, and was inspired by witnessing the powerful processes many of her clients underwent as they struggled to move beyond the difficulties from the past. This poem was recently published in a Women's Anthology supporting the Women's Resource Center in Hickory, NC. 

On a recent hike, on vacation in Upstate, NY, Liza discovered a lone flower growing out of the side of a rock, and she recognized it as the brave flower in her poem.  She snapped a shot of it with her camera, and was immediately inspired to turn it into a work of art!  

These posters are perfect to hang in the waiting room of counseling centers, non-profit organizations, or anywhere you want to add a bit of colorful inspiration.
