Each one a gift
no doubt about it.
A wonderful, mythical
day without ice cream.
Today, cold and bright
a cool breeze in the sky
without a fall of rain.
Through the calm eye
of a window, charming
look in the glowing mirror,
you find yourself in trouble.
A friend helps you out.
You whisper about great days
without mentioning the bad ones.
by Mohammed, 5th grade
