By Joshua Yarde-Boriel, age 9
As the wind circles you
As the trees whisper through
When nature asks who
In the peaceful, enchanted wood
You will find it’s really unordinary
Beautiful lakes and rivers flow
And adorable baby plants grow
Rich wildlife flourishes amongst nature
Broad daylight abducts all beauty
Yet still shares its word
With all the wide world
And when you enter that wood again
That daylight will come back
Once more and reign
