The Light of Our Eyes

by Mannat Mehra aged 11

Parents are the light of our eyes
They guide us at every step.
They change our nappies,
With all our poop (ewww!)
And ration out toffees and chocolate too
Mummy can be a little strict,
Daddy can betray her rules,
But together they make the most wonderful parents
Their light
Is brilliant and bright

It is magical and just right
In that light we shine

And now I will end it,
With a little tribute

Thank you dear mummy and daddy
for being the light in our eyes!

Sweet Dreams, my Honey
Sweet Dreams, my Love
Stars watch down on you from above…
The light is your guardian
My voice will not sway
Let your dreams guide you on your way

Sweet Dreams, my Sugar
Sweet Dreams, my Plum
Mummy is holding you in her tum…
Daddy will be back I promise someday
But for now the light is your guardian
My voice will not sway
Let your dreams guide you on your way…
I see the stars and think of you
Their light beams down
Old stars and new

Sweet Dreams, my Honey
Sweet Dreams, my Love
Daddy is the light from above

Slowly Fading

by Sophie Hill Shawe aged 12

I see your true colours flying out of you
like eagles soaring in the sky
As I sit in my room looking through the window

Thinking of our good times together
Trying to forget the bad
All the times we went out walking

I made you a daisy chain
you put it around your arm and said how much you loved it
You made me feel happy, alive and alight

Then the bad sneaked into my head like a ninja in black
The time when you said you would be there but never came back
The time I invited you to my birthday but you never showed up
All the lies you said to me…

I see your true colours now
Nothing left to see
The light has faded, now it’s just me

Candle Light

My little light lit up the sky
I walked down the path
I tripped on a stone

My candle fell to the ground
It went up in flames
I watched it burn,
sparks flying above my head

I awoke realised it was a dream
And I was safe in bed

A Battle Cry

by Sapphire Hollis aged 15

Blown away by the dawn and dust,
Lay the soldiers unable to adjust.
Across the field in the midnight moon,
This war will be over soon.

The cannons cry into the starless sky,
I begin to cower and say goodbye
To those I’ve hurt, wounded or failed,
To Heaven I have sailed.

From above my head starts to pound,
The drumming of the cannons replace the sound
Of the whimpering men – injured and frail
Because of the smoke they’ve inhaled.

All I wanted was to find inner peace,
I guess now, it was a beautiful release.
Thousands of men were left to die,
The angel me can’t help but cry.

I quietly weep as my soul slips away,
Sadly not everything is here to stay.
At some point everything will end,
But it’s okay, a new start is just around the bend.

My Night Light

by Megan H aged 11

When I was young
I had a Night Light
It kept my room light
Every single night

I needed it
I was scared of the dark
One day I slept without it
And my mum took me to the park

Now I’m older
I don’t need that light
But I still kept it
Because one day I might

Every time I think
About my little Night Light
It reminds me that everywhere
There is always some light

Our Sun

The sun is there for us
When we’re sad
Or when we’re happy

The sun
Oh, the glorious sun
Always shining for us

Sometimes the clouds block out the sun
We still know it’s there
Thank you to our sun

It gives us light
When we need it most
Oh, thank goodness for the sun

Light, Light with a Lot of Brightness

My Little Light Shining

by Samuel Ededjo aged 10

When I’m in a place that’s dark
I feel like I’m gonna bark
But I could yelp
So I can get my little light to help

My little light is bright
Everywhere I go in the sight
It’s my really special friend
and the friendship will never end

Like a horse running so free
It’s really like me
Look how my little light is helping me see
Who I can really be

Look how I am
Never looking so glam
He will always be with me
From north south west and east!

This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine!
