Sunshine

Busy Busy - a sea of scooters

Zig Zag around the city

The cars they drive on the other side

Behind the wheel and on the road

This could be a bit off putting

Why is it I feel just fine?

Here in Taipei today

Maybe it is not roads and cars, I relate too

As I drive with Sam and Peggy

To the Joy School Headquarters

The car is filled with love and joy

HOPE for all our futures

As I am shown the beauty of the city

We pull into a garage, where Sunshine radiates

Served by the disabled in their orange overalls

Big smiles on the faces as they fill up our tanks

Wipe the windshields

Give gifts of water and boxes of tissues

What a wonderful idea

I will take back to Australia

Something that we should try

As classical traditional music fills the car

My heart is filled with HOPE

I smile and think of what has got me to be here

Caitlin Jean - your future is looking bright today
