Mama

A lot of people in this country don't truly appreciate the opportunities and privileges that this wondrous and beautiful Australia gives us. People take our land for granted and do not realise how comfortable our lives are. Most people do not understand the advantages they have over others in the world because they are so content with their own lives and are driven by mundane routine. They forget the significance and treasure of having a life to live. Taking unnecessary items for granted. Abusing the space we have. Ungrateful for the things we have. And wasting moments of our lives. Time passes us by so quickly. When we look back on our trail of footsteps we realise how much time has actually past us. Hours, days, months, years. We see how much time we have wasted. How much money was used. What we have gained and what we have lost. We realise how many people has walked in and out of our lives. Who has made a significant impact. Who has shaped the person we stand as today. It's not until we are older and look back on what our parents and guardians have done for us. Our early years were our most vulnerable and our parents were there to guide us through every step of the way. I think we need to stop for one moment and appreciate the tenderness and care our parents gave, and continues to pour forever more, with such unconditional love. I'm taking this day to thank not only my Mother (biased to the song) but also my Father who has been in my life through thick and thin, in worst of times and the best of times, even through disagreements and fights they helped me on my way, gave me life advice, and never doubted my ability to become who I wanted to become. Their support means the world to me and I could never have lived to my full potential without the beauty of my family.
