Do you love to hear sweet songs? Go outside and listen for All kinds of birds chirping. Go to your local park Sit on a swing and look around See that you’re free There are no wars or fights going on. Look and see that you’re safe from evil. The snow is melting Time is ticking Why don’t you go outside Turn the hose on Play with your neighbors Say to yourself that you Are very lucky. Don’t worry About people who brag. Just think to yourself that You are truly one of the luckiest People in the whole world. Bailey Victoria Nold, 10Fort Wayne, Indiana

Tree House
I climb up the light brown ladder I smell fresh air A soft wind touches my face Gently brushing new green leaves I rest my back on a thick old tree and watch an ant crawl carrying a small piece of green A bird chirps I look up I watch it fly away softly on the wind I take a deep breath and settle to my book.

The World Apart
The trail is rough, But I absorb it all, Every bump, dip and curve, And let it become me. My hands rattle on the bars of my bike, As I take on this course. With speed and energy I never knew. The scenery astounds. A stream tries to keep up, The trees watch from above, The grass plays at my ankles, The birds cheer me on. As I try to blend, Into the scenery. The burn in my thighs, The wind in my face, The rustle of my hair, The fast steady motion, Is the rhythmic beat, Of the world apart. Ash Berger, 12Concord, North Carolina
