change
for Rosalie
have met my best friend to journey through life with.
She is change.
The one to change the lifestyle her grandparents lived, one of alcohol, abuse and trauma,
to one of safety, love and nurturing for her tamariki.
The one to change the direction we are heading, if where we are, is not working.
The one to never settle for anything, other than what she believes our whānau deserves.
She is the one who changed the way I saw life, how I too can be the change.
She is the one willing to look inward and heal her trauma, to better herself.
She is change.
