Childhood

9^th Grade Theme: Childhood

By Neda Shokrian

6- There is a cycle that

8- We can’t truly get at and change

6- For it’s frankly quite strange,

8- Yet already arranged. From our

6- time of youth, there’s power

8- selected to tower through those

6- who live life like a rose.

8- Before blossom, he knows that he

6- can still mess up, yet be

8- beautiful and still then see how

6- that moo of G-d made cow

8- is miraculous now, and will

6- gaze in awe at Brazil

8- because children are still filled in

6- like joke books that begin

8- where an author has been but not

6- where a child will spot.

8- just because the youth rot, it still

6- can not remove the thrill

8- that without fail will mill always.
