The Haitian Man

The Haitian man, who was rescued after all this time, from underneath the rubble that had been a grocery store -

I'm certain he never lost hope, even for a single moment

If he faltered, he got back again

Came back to his senses, with an even stronger feeling of hope

Alone in the dark

And yes, the food and drinks he found must have given him hope

But if he hadn't hoped in the beginning, he may not have found all the food and drinks lying around him in the darkness

He may not have found the energy to open that Coke can, to take a sip out of it

To tear the cookie wrappings

Swallow, chew, and live...
