Undying Hope

Alexa Gatmaitan

Fire, flowing fast, like water,
A storm of ash and dust.
Families on their own,
Others giving all they can.
Firefighters, overwhelmed with heat;
Fires, weak to shining, silvery water,
Engaged in tense battle.
Fear for others, families worry about
friends,
Dying hope for destroyed houses.
Fire, flowing fast, like water,
A storm of ash and dust.
Families on their own,
Others giving all they can:
Food, water, clothes, supplies.
