Resilience in Ruins

Title: Resilience in Ruins

In a land of chaos and despair,
Amidst destruction beyond compare,
A woman in her 90s, hidden in the debris,
Survived the earthquake, her spirit set free.

For five long days, she held on tight,
Hope flickering, but refusing to ignite,
With every hour that passed her, oh so slow,
Resilience grew, her will to survive continued to glow.

Rescuers searched tirelessly, unaware,
That a miracle awaited beneath the layers of despair,
And as they pulled her from the rubble’s grip,
They saw strength, determination, in her eyes aflame with a solitary glimmer’s tip.

A testament to the human spirit’s might,
Her story echoes, reaching out with astounding light,
From the ashes she rose, alive and strong,
An inspiration for us all, proving nothing is ever truly gone.
