Humble Survival Poem by Abderrahmane Dakir

He survived eight days in the rubble,
Though, he had no training in survival.

Movies depict survivors as tough,
But he was humble so enough.

Most survivors are not skilled,
But their hope to stay alive is built.

Small children take fewer risks,
Only God could protect us when disaster strikes.

Small children were more likely to survive.
No one believed that they were still alive.

Being humble,
Being independent thinkers,
Having strong family bonds,
They are the greatest assets to see a loved one again.
