Morgan’s Hands

by Pragun aged 12

Morgan’s hands might be
As rough as sackcloth.
After all, he’s a blacksmith
But when he bathes
His children, his hands
Turn themselves into flowers
And become as soft as
A pillow made by
A luxury bedding company.

Moving On

by Annabelle

Memories of Barbies are fading,
Old broken dolls at the bottom of my cupboard,
Valuable experiences forgotten,
Imaginary pets lost,
New friends discovered,
Goals met,
Opening doors towards the future,
Numerous opportunities ahead.

A Type of Love No One Will Forget

by Samuel aged 11

Part Two

We danced on the Moon,
We played on Mars,
We slept on Jupiter,
We ate at Mercury,
We sang on Pluto,
We swam in Uranus,
We slept on Neptune,
But then the next morning it was time to go,
I got my Valentines,
then we packed the luggage,
And then we sealed the door.
We flew back to Earth in are little rocketship,
And then gave my parents a quick phone call,
I said we landed safely and we hope to see you soon.

I Wish

Sitting idly
sipping some coffee
& enjoying the beautiful scenery,
I suddenly thought of
you and the old days;
do you remember the days when we
walked together, hand in hand
promising each other that
this bond will never break,
promising each other that
we both will always be there for
each other;
do you remember the days when others
wished that they could have
a bond
like ours?

But now, everything’s changed;
we act like strangers,
walking past each other
locking sight
but with a locked mouth,
our inner soul
tells us not to even exchange a
‘Hello!’
though, deep inside us
we wish to speak to each other,
gossip,
share the latest news,
like we did a few years ago.

I wish,
that the old times could come back:
I wish I could cry on your shoulder,
I wish I could exchange secrets,
I wish we could gossip about people,
I wish this bridge is built all over
again.

I wish.

A Lady Like No Other

You are the concealed
hand
that helps us cross
the broken bridge;
You are the concealed chalk
that fills our black lives
full of white.
Your warm, cozy arms –
the palliative spot for a
wounded soul.
You are the sunlight blending
through the curtains
lighting up our lives.
You are the fresh lotus that
fills our flavourless lives
with essence.

To decipher you
is problematic;
how does your instinct
decipher us?

You are a blessing,
only a few are blessed with.
You are the life that leads me
through the dark tunnel
of life.

You are a lady: like no other.
You are my everything.
You are MOM!

The Snake and Jake

The snake
Is on the lake
Eating some cake

Then he has a tummy ache
Because of the cake
Then he meets Jake

Who is awake
Baking some
Cake

Looking at the sky
That is about to cry
Wanting to eat a pie

For the pie
He was to die
Or even lie
