You are a Survivor

poem by: Gerry Legister
Written on Apr 13, 2016

Devastated by your losses
Upon tired shoulders carrying the crosses.
Surrounded by the rubble,
Drifting further along into more trouble.
Displace by the trail of disasters,
Imagery marred with unwanted posters.
Optimism daze by the unbelief
Hoping to find reassurance and relief.
You try to begin and to dream again
How to live a better life within
Tempted to give in; but you are a survivor
Brought by the price of the Saviour.
Poised to rebuild your legacy,
The future waits for you with all eternity.

Love this poem Gerry, if I didn't know better I would think you wrote it about me. I am sure many can relate and would feel the same. Perhaps you might like my poem "Survivor"? Well done.
