Refraction


I’ve lead a hard life

Born on a springs day

The sun of life has lead my way

Poor by fate

Rich through faith

The dessert sand shed its storm before me

Gaining what was once lost at the cost of another

Rising to the occasion when I am called

Life isn’t measured just by what we say but how we live it

Not by how we change ourselves but the world around us

I embrace the storm I walk though

As each storm brings opportunity

Opportunity to change the world of others

Refraction of light to photosynthesis my own growth

Opportunity to change the world
