Today is my muse

What inspires me is plain to see I find it within the trees and sea I find it in the bravery of the past And my hope for the future,most importantly I find it in my family I find it in my mother's drive And in her empathy I find it in my great grandmother's intensity Doing something, at the time taboo to protect the ones she loved so immensely I find it in my heritage, find it absolutely... My cousins' art and passion My grandmother's stern kindness My dad's structure Oh these things that inspire me so greatly I find it in the land around me Which is mesmerizing in the shapes I see In this land I wish to preserve oh so very dearly And the stories told around me I find it in the progress made The progress yet to be The fictional ones that bring dreams to me And turn them into reality A dreamer like me would take these, and a dreamer like me would say, “This is the difference I want to make. The inspiration is today.
