I Am Learning Poem by Esther Hadassah Sendeza

I hold my breath in the depth of the ocean,
So I can learn to detach from the world.
I close my eyes when the wind blows,
So I can learn perfect peace.
I listen to the silence of the night,
So I can learn to be still.
I look into the eyes of smiling babies,
So I can learn to be hopeful.

I lay in a bed of blossoming flowers,
So I can learn to grow.
I stand on top of the tallest mountain,
So I can learn to overcome my challenges.
I feel my heart breaking as I push through,
Is this where I learn perseverence?
And I sing in the shower when I am down,
So I can learn to keep the faith.
