What do I get from writing poetry, quotes and Fundraising

🌹 Someone once asked me:“What do you get out of writing poetry, quotes, and fundraising for charities?”The truth? I don’t get much in the material sense.But I gain something far greater:

✨ The joy of turning words into hope.

✨ The chance to give voice to those who feel unseen.

✨ The opportunity to let art serve a purpose bigger than myself.That’s why I wrote If Rose Could Talk—a poem reminding working professionals to pause, breathe, and remember their worth.

For me, poetry is not just about beauty, it’s about impact.I don’t just write for myself—I write so words can bloom into kindness. 🌹

THE PATIENT BLOOM

🌹 “The Patient Bloom”

A rose does not rush the morning light,

nor chase the hurried hands of time.

It listens to whispers of sun and rain,

and gathers strength in silence, sublime.

Each petal holds a secret song,

a hymn of waiting, soft and true.

No haste can force its grace to rise,

for beauty blooms when it is due.

So let your heart, like roses be,

unfolding gently, day by day.

Trust the rhythm life bestows,

your perfect time will find its way.

“Whispers of the Silent Cries”

In the land of green hills and skies so wide,
Where oceans kiss shores and rivers glide,
There’s a shadow cast on the brightest day,
Where the dreams of children slowly fade away.

“Whispers of the Silent Cries”

Tiny hands that should reach for the sun,
Grasp only hunger when the day is done.
Their laughter’s quiet, their hopes concealed,
In a world where empty plates are never healed.

Beneath the stars, their beds of stone,
In houses broken, they feel so alone.
The warmth of love seems so far to seek,
When all they taste is the bitter and weak.

We speak of futures, of wealth and might,
Yet turn our backs on their endless night.
Where are the answers? Where is the light
For those who hunger, out of sight?

In the heart of Aotearoa’s grace,
Are children longing for a safer place.
Their eyes reflect the pain untold,
A story written in streets so cold.

Compassion calls in whispers deep,
For the ones who starve, for the ones who weep.
Can’t we offer more than just a sigh,
When the tears of the hungry fill the sky?

With every coin, with every hand,
We build a bridge from sea to land.
To lift the little souls so frail,
To let their dreams again set sail.

So let us stand, united, strong,
Against a world where wrong is long.
For every child, let’s raise a song,
And promise them where they belong.

In the land of green hills and skies so bright,
May we banish hunger from the night.
With hearts of love, let’s lift the gloom,
And fill their world with endless room.

For every child deserves the chance
To laugh, to love, to sing, to dance.
To feel the warmth of a life that’s free,
And rise above their poverty.
