Reaching Above

I admire each and everyone of you.

For the strength and courage that has carried you.

Through a war that never should have happened at all.

You stood firm for your country, with hopes to never fall.

Although we live far away from you.

In our hearts we wished there was more we could do.

Ukrainian, now that freedom has come your way.

Reach up and rejoice, live for every day.

Stop and smell the fresh air around you.

Look forward to what lays ahead for you to do.

Enjoy peaceful moments without fear.

Relax your body,drop the gear.

The journey ahead is like a clean slate.

Just lots of love, no more greed and hate.

Embrace your loved ones every way you can.

Gather together, you are free my friend.

Free to live the life you truly are deserving of.

Filled with laughter and so much love.

Our Country and many more,will send you things you may need.

We are proud of all of you, heroes you are indeed.

Reaching above and beyond to where clear skies may be.

For now this is history.

The time is yours filled with courage and hope.

New ways of living and how to cope.

To pick up and build your land the best way.

New beginnings,new homes and capturing every day.

A feeling of just being free.

From war, to living naturally.

You have risen and will go on my friend.

With so many trials and tales until the end.

But today raise your hands up high.

Stand together and touch the sky.

For you have the best life coming your way.

Hoping you have a reason to smile every day.
