Our Secret Language

by Yiyi Chen aged 8

The language my friend and I use is unique,

No one can hear a peep,

We use it at break and

when we are awake.

We use motions to say,

“Hello, have a good day!”

When we are mad,

We say something bad.

We only say it to each other,

not even to our brother.

We like our communication,

When we face a strong temptation,

We’ll memorise it so it stays—

A secret for all our days.

We also talk when we walk.

We made it out of fun,

When lessons felt too long to run.

It makes us laugh, it makes us smile,

We use it every once in a while.

Maybe one day we’ll tell the rest,

And show them how our code’s the best.

But for now, it’s ours to keep,

A promise said before we sleep.
