Through my eyes

Shivaun Alexander 1976 (Trinidad and Tobago)



As she sat and stared at her feet, she noticed that blade of  grass,
Fresh, green, long and sleek, it stood aloft ,amidst the  others.
She sat and she stared at its majestic beauty and reflected on her life.
She saw herself in that leaf, for she never could fit in and she often wondered why , for many a day she would often sit and cry.
But the more she stared she realized that their is beauty in individuality and none can compare
Through her eyes, that simple leaf showed her that she is beautiful, unique and rare.
