She walked through fire
but was not burnt by it
She treaded deep water
but not overcome by it
She braved the howling wind
but not moved by it
She faced diversity on earth
but not usurped by it
The contest of courage

The last line brings up a question …. contest with whom? Many-a-times, a lot of strength is taken up in fighting unknown forces.
