Live On--By Cindy Hutchings--United States

Live On

Survivors stand
among ruins

bravely carry on
where others have fallen

being spared
they hold strong

though vulnerable to changing winds
they draw up inner reserves

bolstering resolve
to greet next generation

teach them
how to endure

when all that is known
has been cut, cleared.
