Fishes in the Sea

The reef was special to me

When I lost my home

I thought I was alone

Even though it wasn’t great

Our new home is across the state

At home, I felt big and tall

Now I feel quite small

I felt normal at home

But now… it’s hard

I could feel my family's love

now I don’t know where they are

I could coral and other fish

now it looks all squished

At home, I had no fears

Now I taste salty tears

Now I realise it’s gone

I finally knew what to do

I will go and see If there’s another home for me

My home may be far but don’t worry I know where you are

Whistly waves, rocky risks but in the end, I’ll have a Happy Home

The reef is special to me.
