Gratefulness
Nugan (Little Boy)

As a teacher, my younger sister has nurtured and taught Aboriginal children and teenagers for many years. It can be an emotional job at times, as these children often come from difficult and deprived backgrounds.
Overtime, she has learnt that not everyone can move on from their pain and sadly, she has lost some boys along the way and from suicide. Her resilience and love for this job is unchanging and inspired me to write a poem.

Giving our best effort is what we all strive to do. Initially we are always highly motivated to do something new, and yet, overtime, we can lose energy to consistently give our best and that’s when we can lose sight of our goals and dreams for the future.
