children's poem*
There lived a little child, in the paradise,
Where the sun never set and the sun would never rise.
One day came a storm and took the child away,
Through the garden and the breeze. It took her far away.
She was now all alone and wandering through the snow.
The child was lost that day but nobody did know.
She set for the search of her home through the wind and the sun.
Then came a heavy rain, she didn't find a place to run.
She didn't eat and sleep, she walked from day till night.
She always kept her eyes open, till her eyes were frozen wide.
She walked through spring and the summer, then came the winter along.
The autumn gave golden fruits to all, but she could never find her home.
The little child was lost, around the world she roamed.
She was never again happy, for she could never find her home.

I wrote this poem in Grade 4, one of my firsts. It is especially close to my heart.
