 A Child Daydreaming

By: Clentin

A child daydreaming with a solemn face

As they stare off into open space

Lost in thought and far away

Eyes glistening, yet they won't say

What are they thinking, why so blue?

What story are they imagining too?

Are they dreaming of a place they'd go

Where they could be free and they'd know

That no matter what they'd be safe

The worries and fears of today erased

A place where they don't have to hide

Where they can be loved and full of pride

Maybe its a place they can call home

Where happiness can freely roam

A place that's never too far away

Where they can easily dream and pray

A Thoughtful Reflection

By: Michael Keens

I’ve been placed in detention today

For not paying attention in class

Teacher says it’s the price to be paid

But thank God my seats by the glass

‘What do I do, what do I do?’

In this classroom, all alone

I know what to do, admire the view

And with my thoughts, I’ll go with the flow

Not a cloud in the sky, but I do wonder why

When full of water they turn very dark

Because water is clear, even up in the sky

I’m not sure, so move on to the park

I see some of my friends, enjoying the sun

I wish I could be there as well

But I’m stuck in this room, in need of some fun

On what I see from the window, I dwell

In the distance are sheep, just one black in the group

Unlike the rest, but he follows care free

If the rumours are true, why don’t they walk in a loop

And never end up where they’d like to be

No avoiding the sight, from the chair where I look

Is my face on the glass looking back

If my reflection could talk, it would say ‘learn from your books

And contemplate life when at home and on track’
