BECAUSE OF HER, WE CAN! PAINTING
BECAUSE OF HER, WE CAN! PAINTING
Inspired by the 2018 NAIDOC week theme Because of her, we can! This is a poem that describes this piece.
Because of her, we can!
Like the Dreamtime, she creates life,
- she is powerful
Like Mother Nature, she beholds beauty,
- she is healing
Like the tall tree standing strong, her roots the foundation to family,
- she is strength
Like the wildflowers, she gives us the confidence to grow,
- she is guidance
Like a river, she flows through our veins
- she is connection
Like the bush foods, she nourishes our soul
- she is nurturing
Like the rain, she showers us with her skills,
- she is knowledge
Like the seasons, the land and animals, she teaches us to adapt to change
- she is courage
Like the rays of the sun touching country,
- she is the light in our lives
Like the special people in our journeys, she leaves her footprint on our hearts
- she is love
Because of her, we can!
