Aftermath of a Catastrophe

In a tragedy,

Survival is one thing,

Mending is another.

In recovery,

Learning to forgive myself and others,

I’ve discovered,

I am capable of more than I imagined,

Far more than I could fathom.

In the aftermath of a catastrophe,

Surprisingly,

I am finding my own strength,

Realizing that

I am stronger than you think.
