Hope

Grant Collegiate
Springdale, Newfoundland
by Lorie(Grade 12)

Bodies
piled on top of each other like trash
thrown into a hole,
as if their life had no
                              importance.
Families dead.
                  Mothers
                            Fathers
                                  and
                                      Children.
Everything's
                        dead.
But there,
standing
                                              alone.
It has pushed its way past
all the
                          lost lives.
There it stood,
a single
                          Daffodil.
Bright and beautiful,
vital with life.

Somehow leading us in a new
                                                      direction.
Hoping for a better
world.
