Will to Go On

Location

In the country where natural disasters are common

People learned to live and accept

The damage and loss of property…

They feel it’s normal to have their streets

Full of standing water

They fish and swim and wait…

For dry land to appear once again…

Still, the Mother Nature tests their will to live

With earthquake,

Tsunami,

And typhoon…

Sending them one after another,

Leaving them no time to recover…

How strong these souls are

To manage through loss of lives and sorrow

To rebuild their homes and towns

To go on…

Looking at this far from the distance

It makes me wonder…

Could I be this strong?

Could I survive?

Could I go on?

Not many could but these souls would!
