![]() ResilienceA Poem by Chris Shaw![]() London Pride - a wild flower![]()
Out of wreckage and destruction
broken streets in bomb blitzed London, razed when warfare wreaked its havoc, causing life loss and despair. From the darkest, bleakest hours, sprang the sight of tiny flowers as they struggled through the rubble, stretched their necks to breathe in air. Where no other plant life flourished, soon these pretty rosette faces colonised the empty spaces, spread themselves without a care. Free and easy in surroundings, pretty pink their pearly petals, covered empty barren places, stronger grew and settled there. Out of wreckage and destruction, when each day it's hard to function, search for nature's wiser counsel, grief a task we all must bear. Let with time there come solutions, every season brings a reason, courage sent to help us cope with welcome sprigs of new found hope.
