The Poem of Joy
by Rachel Shimanovsky, age 8
I once saw a princess
who was running in wind
she flew like a bird
and she was flying in wind
and up came a sparrow
who welcomed her up
to the sky of heaven
of lightened buttercups
the sparrow led her
to a hidden cave
that was hidden
with golden spades
then a fairy appeared
right before her eyes
she said the magic words
for her soul to arise
