Resilience

The pure heart of a child reaches out with tiny fingers
to grab hold of reassurance, comfort, and security.
It greets the world with innocence, confident of being loved.

The exquisite orchid requires the proper conditions
to blossom and show its delicate white and purple flowers.
Its tender slender shoots, need the right environment to thrive.

Fierce tropical storms, overturning everything in their path,
cause dislocation, desolation, and discouragement.
We persevere, we hope, we reinvent, we celebrate.
