Youth is the most beautiful storm
You will love people who don’t love you
Hold friends close and then greet like strangers
Have chatter and laughter and nights all alone
Capricious tuition and shiny ball pens
This chapter begins where your old news ends
Leaving home is for big kids
So take your time
Listen to the lightning and the chaos
Every wonderful sound
There is choice and there is reason
Purpose in all change
Now is the moment
Where the world is more open
To nurse you and to hurt you
To teach you and propel you
Out toward the lights you cannot see
Into the life that has not yet formed
We acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people, who are the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Woroni, Woroni Radio and Woroni TV are created, edited, published, printed and distributed. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. We acknowledge that the name Woroni was taken from the Wadi Wadi Nation without permission, and we are striving to do better for future reconciliation.
