Fay Slimm - Survivor's Aid.

Compounding small troubles, clouds sweep across
Mind, and envelope the will at times, test
Out strengths, and feed doubt. We're at a loss
To understand why, but forcing our best
Face forward, we try. We are Survivors,
So we believe. Fragile minds conceive fear
In storms of emotion, but will revive
If given a seed of faint hope. Clearing
Our sight, we inhale fresh thinking again
And see sense. Ability to reason
Will surface only if we find painful
Any hurt.. Survivors take seasonal
Checks on life. They delight in heartfelt peace
Which early forgives, so brings love's increase.
