growing up and learning

The smell of fresh rain 

after a storm 

walking outside and listening 

to all the animals

feeling the ground

without shoes and socks

looking at nice views

and hearing cars in the distance

closing your eyes and feeling 

everything around you

while being outside in the bush

growing up and learning 

about our Culture

remembering 

the things mum told us 

‘bout how to be safe 

in the safe way.
