EMPOWERING POEMS

It is incredible how the universe works, I have just finished assisting my son with his project that he chose about our incredible snowy mountains here in Australia and to my surprise I realised I had not known certain interesting facts about the area and the people who were inspired by it.  At the end of his project which was a brochure he had to design and of course we were sure to include some very important information for people wanting to know about the area apart from the ski fields.

We happened upon a poem which was inspired through one of Australia's famous bush poets "Banjo Paterson" who wrote "The Man From Snowy River" a classic poem full of thrill, surprise and the hard-working man.  Of course we added a short description of this classic tale excluding the poem itself knowing that first it was quite a long poem and second the chosen words would be challenging to a year 4 child.  We also noted that the area he was from was indeed our town and area and where we lived was also connected to and named after places and words right out of the poem itself.

So through my own thoughts and feelings inspired me to write these poems which have come directly from my core of who I was being at the time.

"Blind Faith"      by Faenza Aitken

My Blind Faith I asked myself to which extent do I have

      Says universe to me to all extent you prosper.. don’t worry your very soul

To change and move ahead says they we know and believe in you

      Erase the past and seek us fast your there yet did not know

We welcome all your queries and oppose your comment last

      You are in light and speeding through quicker.. you last the task

To know you are exceeding the road we can now show

      For in the place there are no words, no shadows and over-throw

So keep it light full of surprise and save your very soul

      From complicated drama-based in fear that will not grow

"ODE TO MONEY"          by Faenza Aitken

Money is my friend money is all around

It comes in any currency.. US dollar note or pound

It keeps you in good company and yields you shares and stocks

For me it brings great pleasure with thoughts of riches and diamond

 rocks

I see it now everywhere and dream it right out loud

I see it in my slumber time all dripping golden sublime

Of course it sees me too I know its waiting shimmering and proud

So come my friends you modest lot I’ve plans for you ahead

Come forward take your place as you are with me

 joyous to the end
