Up, Up and Away!

Up, up and away
We went on the parachute

Up, up and away
We went on the plane

Up, up and away
Went the bird

Someday you will really
go up, up and away

Eid is when my
family celebrate
It is a time of peace
A time of fun, joy and comfort
I love Eid!

Match

Flames dance on the tip of the candle
Like a playful bunch of children
Awoken by the flaming match
They flicker endlessly until the wax melts
Not unlike how children play until their mothers call for supper
Then the sparking flames disappear
And the children lie on the bed, exhausted
Until the match lights their flames again

Hospital Doctors

They remember the fighters who fought for justice
They remember the soldiers who risked their lives
They remember their recklessness and bravery
They remember their contributions and help
They praise their muscles and strength

But they don’t give the healers a second glance
The people who saved countless lives
Without killing anybody
I feel that
Doctors and nurses are the real soldiers

Infinite

by Harshita Das aged 12

Some people wish for an infinite life
I wish for infinite happiness
Because it is a number which is not defined
Nothing but our mind is infinite
For our mind cannot be defined

Northern Lights

The Northern Lights were there
I saw it one night
It was so beautiful
It was gleaming with light
Showers of color
Dawn through night
I couldn’t believe my eyes
It was an amazing sight
I’ll take you one day
And all of us will say
The Northern Lights has taken us away

Siblings

Siblings are nice
Sometimes they’re mean
I can’t imagine how brothers would be
Screaming, fighting, that’s how it goes
And keep listening ’cause there is still more
Pushing, shoving, I’m sometimes in pain
For some reason they don’t even get out of the way
But it’s okay because that’s how it goes
By the way, I’ll be over there, massaging my toes

The Terrible Place

Cold cold weather I see in this place of misery and no glee.
I do not want to be here in this miserable place
It is such big disgrace
I would rather go hiking in the highest mountain or swim in a gross fountain
This place is sad and it makes me super duper mad
Because this place is a big DISGRACE !!!

Suzy

by Akifah Abdin aged 9

Loneliness is my shadow,
I sit on the school benches everyday
Yearning for a change
All those bullies,
those fiendish fools
They tease me,
they laugh, call me names
Though one day there was a big
change

Suzy came,
She may have been ordinary
Though her powers extraordinary
All those bullies
They went away
Loneliness had gone away

Now all I have to do
is think
What would Suzy do?
