A gift of Hope
From day to day many children’s lives end short
In all the darkness to harshness they get caught
And even though the next day they may not see the light
They show us the courage and strength
So in dark times we can shine bright
*
They act strong
Knowing it would be long
Till they do a simple task that we take for granted
Such as running in the puddles of the pouring rain
To let go, be free and to forget the re-occurring pain
But what’s sad is many kids die before they get the chance
to live large, sing, laugh and prance
*
So before you complete your dream
Think of those who never had the chance
And then turn around and glance
At the innocent children pushed into this world of sin
And with each day their shining light grows dim
So I ask of you for the memories, the laughter and the fun
To be given to these children like god to his son
So that as they close their eyes at night they can cope
And with everyday to come it brings new hope.

‘to all the children out there that are sick and hospital or in a poverty stricken country this is for you’
No place like..
Life is a funny tale that you have dreams in which are planted in your heart you know where you see yourself but in between that time how on earth do you get there?
So make a change. Jump. Struggle. Miss things that you had. Or discover new ones.
When you feel in a rutt change not knowing the direction. Cause at the end of the day it’s you that needs to change not the place or the people . You can find those things wherever. But in new experiences you realise who you are and what you need has always been accessible.
On moving to the other side of the world it’s made me realise I took home for granted the place was amazing. It’s where I dream of living. And I was going on in a rutt thinking it was place that needed to change when all I needed to do was change me change my situation it’s all in my control. So I look forward to going home and excited on new friendships and my new lifestyle change.
