We are blessed
-
NB: I was asked to try write a poem about New Zealand and so… this is what I came up with. Its not very good, well at least to me it isn’t…. I don’t think I have ever had to write a poem on a subject as hard as this before. Every time I think of living here all I can think about is earthquakes
We are blessed
From our beaches east to west
To our mountain peaks,
In our lakes and our rivers
To the bird calls so uniqueThe spirit of our lands
So beautiful is she,
Shows her soul to all of us
Living, breathing, whispering.This spirit blesses all of us
Each of us with a gift
To have something worth protecting
Giving us pride and unityGuided by the southern stars
We will always know our home
We maybe a land of many people
But we are united under this truthFor all of us are New Zealanders
Protectors and guardians
And although the future can be unknown
This is something we can forever lean on.For no matter how tough things can get
The spirit of this land will survive
And as long as she is with us
We can stand together with pride.
