Alone I reflect on the best of things!
Devon Bates 1980 (Norfolk)
The dreams, of love, have set, me free!
While growing, under, my, willow, tree!
I've, learned, to breathe!
Good thoughts, do mend!
I am, Egyptian, by birth right, yet, Israeli, I bleed!
I see, beyond, the land, of dope!
A place, where, kids, have dreams, and hope!
Where, God, is good, and, life, is true!
There, virtues, are, cherished, and, appreciated, it's, due!
Here, color, will, not, matter, only, character, and, manners!
Liberty, shines, in every, window, and, keeps, guard, at every, carriage!
The oatmeal, is plentiful, and, made, from, scratch, with, real, vanilla, and, brown, syrup!
There, people, speak!
No, bad, day, is ignored!
The elderly, are, cared, for, the children, raised, right!
You, are rewarded, to do, good!
Even, though, some, will, say, "otherwise"!
Yet, please, just know, it's, your, choice, wrong, or right!
At, the end, of, your, day, if, you think, towards, something, and, smile, your, child, getting, an award!
Better, even, hugging, you, just, to smile!
You, are, blessed!
You've, been, granted, the best, of life!
Cherish, every, moment, love, deep, and grab, at that, sky!
Pick up, that, star, and, most, of all, let, the one, in you, fly!
