"Flower Power" by Kayla, 15 | Prairieview Nature Photography

I am strong and awesome,
I wonder when I’ll be with my family again,
I hear the ocean water moving as the waves come in,
I see hope for myself and others,
I want to be with my family,
I am strong and awesome,
I pretend to meet my uncle Mark up in heaven,
I feel pain within my heart,
I touch my grandma June in heaven one last time,
I worry about my mom’s friend Tammy,
I cry to the ones I love that left us too soon,
I am strong and awesome,
I understand my family’s feelings,
I say up above the clouds are my loved ones who have lost their lives and some died so soon,
I dream that I am home and those loved ones are back home with their families,
I try to keep myself going even after everything I have been through and lost,
I hope to go home soon and that my mom’s best friend is okay,
I am strong and awesome.
