Than and Now

9 years ago I was this little girl dreaming of

being a mermaid princess.

I thought of the ocean water in my face and all the

sea creatures talking to me and me talking back.

I loved

plants mainly hydrangeas flowers. I loved climbing

trees and looking above at the sun as it shone in

my bright blues eyes. The rivers and lakes clear as rain drops. Animals 

enjoying the fresh air and living happily ever after

New animals being found that no one new before.

That was all about to end…..

I soon see plants dying in the garden, trees dying

right in front of me.

I always thought life would be a miracle.

I thought life would be a place of peace.

 Trees and plants is not the start there is a lot more….

Heat waves start and destroy everything Storms

start destroying houses no cities. Animals start dying.

Deforestation begins and never ends. Rubbish destroys the ocean and kills animals.

Pollution in the air. Kids dying of diseases. No clean water. 

It's like we are the devils of this earth that are destroying everything and making it a living hell. 

We can make a change if we try hard enough.

“We love the world”

“Save the turtles”

“We can make a change”

I hear all of those sentences everyday but no one saves the turtles, no one helps other people love the world , no one tries to make a change,

I have had enough of sitting on the bench watching

everybody litter, everybody sit and watch people die and

animals die. Let's make a change, I'm 13 years old and I will make a change I will try

everything in me to make a change here's hoping

you are ready to make a change with me.

Kids are wanting to live up to their dreams they can’t

if the world ends, they can’t if humanity dies out.

Work together.

I don’t just believe in myself but I believe in every single one of you.

My Nana once told me to keep on smiling because

one day it will shine brighter than a star well if we work

together our hard work could save the earth.
