No Longer Room for Stones

by
Liliana Kohann

I cannot really change how tall I am,
but I can change how tall I stand.
I cannot really change how old I am,
but I can change how young I feel.
I cannot really change how well I see,
but I can change how well I learn.
I cannot really change the color of my skin
or the sound of my voice,
but I can change the colors of my expressions
I cannot really change my bone structure,
but I can change the structure of my thoughts.
I cannot really change the coldness I received,
but I can change the warmth with which I give.
I cannot really change my sensitive nature,
and God knows I've tried,
but I can change the nature of my environment:
No longer room for stones
but soil fertile and soft.
Where flowers like me can grow.
Where we cherish it all.
Where all our gifts can glow.
Where we all can become the heroes
that we were meant to be.
