Finally, when the smoke clears, we are left with memories of the past, sorrow of the present, and hope for the future. – Featured Blog

13 June 2017 By Port Elizabethan

Today’s posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger:

Finally, when the smoke clears, we are left with memories of the past, sorrow of the present, and hope for the future.:

We share in your sorrow, and we celebrate in our humanity and community of family, friends and strangers, looking forward to new beginnings, hope and a revitalised Woodridge that will rise from the ashes of despair. The bridge of hell will connect the sadness of the past with the promise of the future. We are mindful that we only lost material possessions, whilst others lost their lives. We salute the courage of those who fought the fires. We treasure our memories, for that is all we have left. We came into this world with nothing and we shall all leave with nothing. We celebrate Life.

Bridges:

The fire sent to burn us, builds us

The fire meant to destroy us, drives us

The fire breaks the barriers that keep us apart

Where there was hatred now there is love

Where we were divided now we have bridges

Making South Africa great again!

Extremely proud South African disillusioned in our Government and some of our people
