I am Sagal
I am polite and kind

I wonder about my future
I hear a horse cry
I see New York
I want to have a good life
I am polite and kind

I pretend I am a princess
I feel a great place above me
I touch the summer grass
I worry about my future
I am polite and kind

 

Hi Sagal,

 

I am Sami

We are practically sisters

We are practically family

A little older but I am reflection of you.

 

When I was younger I too

used to worry about the future.

But I stopped worrying

and started focusing on the present.

 

You sound very pleasant.

 

Continue to be polite

and continue to be kind.

In this life you will find

that you have a lot to discover

Learn and uncover.

 

New York is the Big Apple

but there are other fruits to see.

When you are older you can travel overseas

and enjoy sun, sand and sea.

 

There is no need to pretend to be a princess

cos you are a queen.

There is no need to worry about future

and places you haven’t been.

 

To have a good life

you must continue to surround yourself with good.

Maybe in the future you will go to New York

and leave your neighbourhood.

 

Continue to be polite

and continue to be kind.

In this life you will find

that you have a lot to discover

Learn and uncover.
