Aftermath Poem by Froilan Jay Guiral

Each life's experiences,
Mixed emotions as we faced it daily,
A cry for a nation; heal our land,
Hear us Oh Thee; what a catastrophic tragedy.

Storm surge; the angry sea keeps on crashing over,
Hunger and thirst strike; let there be rain,
Tears overflowed like a stream; able to standout,
Indomitable spirit; able to laugh and smile a bit.

With each life's quandary,
A father carrying his child lifeless body,
Encapsulated; the load is heavy,
Aftermath; be lifted and steadfast for His will and glory.
