Reflections of Life

  I looked out the window and saw, A snow covered mountain and a sky filled with stars Happiness flooded my body and I swear my heart was going to leap out of my chest As I saw those stars, they reminded me of something Of someone Of their eyes Their eyes that shine so bright Their eyes that make even the stars jealous. I cried as I looked at those stars I stared and stared longing for the feeling when I first saw their eyes to come back And it did The feeling came and filled me with serenity With peace With utmost joy I cried again for I had never seen a sight more beautiful, more peaceful And now I shall always look at the stars in hope of getting that feeling again The stars shall forever be a memory engraved into my soul A memory most loved...

  Gaining our independance wasn't all sunshine and rainbows but there was a fire burning in the peoples hearts that refused to let them be ruled by another country and just be silent about it. They raised their voices and made it known that they were not going down without a fight. This is the same fire which is still present in every single one of us ; the fire of freedom. Finally being able to stand on our own toes and be independent has made us a successful country. And all this is due to our forefathers who wanted Mauritius free so that our lives could be better and safer. This is the outcome of their undying love and we will be forever grateful.
