Life is a Gift

Through life, I have realised that change is scary,

But I will have to face my fears.

I have been hurt and I've thought that my life is worthless,

But feeling things is really the main part of life.

That feeling when I go outside

And smell the air in springtime,

The sweet smell of lomandra flowers.

When I dip my feet into the cool spring water,

It gives me a refreshing feeling.

My mum reminds me of a dandelion,

I make a wish and she makes it come true.

The sound of cicadas ringing in my ear

In that hot summer weather.

Watching the rosy sunset

The glimmer of birds

Flying home to their family to rest.

When I go to the beach,

Sand between my toes

The sound and the salty smell of the ocean

Heals me.
