I came with dreams, with faith beneath my fear,
Not knowing what this journey had in store.
Through trials and lessons, I persevered,
And found new strength where I had none before.
I touched the silver, gemstones, and gold,
Things I once thought my hands would never know.
I learned that priceless things are not just sold,
But shaped through patience, struggle, and growth.
Some friendships bloomed, some lessons came through pain,
Some days I questioned if I'd make it through.
But God gave strength to rise and try again,
His grace remained when all I had was few.
Today, I celebrate how far I've come;
The craft is learned, but greater things await.
All glory to God, from whom my strength has come;
This is not the end, but the beginning of my fate.
