2024/Natalie -

I am from rainy and gloomy gray

From hot and dry and cold and wet

I am from the place that's under the shimmery stars

sky , the night it tasted like lemon lime.

I am from the garden of green

The ocean blue

Whose salty and sweet array I remember

As if it were my own.

I am from the land of smiles and waves

From left and right

I'm from the tropical storms and the

Hot rain

From lightning and thunder!

I'm from purple dandelions flying high

And ten hours of singing I can do myself

I'm from Independent and strong

Confident and song

From The Long Lost

To The City of Ember,

Used to keep me up at night so I can read.

Under my bed was a box of books

Spilling stories of past and present

A note of music

To drift beneath my dreams.

I am from those moments

I spread my wings before l jump

A dove fallen from up high.

If I believe I can fly.
