WONDERS OF LIFE By: Safiya Alvi
I Look, I Look, I Look, I See Click for Audio I have eyes And so do you My eyes are placed in front But are yours? I use my eyes to look at the wonderful things in this world Mine are not curled but maybe yours are It doesn’t matter Cause we all have two of them Ever wonder why our eyes we placed in front of us not behind There are there to help us find Help us find the right way Our eyes are placed in front To help us They help is look forward in life not back Eyes are what make you cry There are what make you sparkle They are what shows who you are and twinkle like the stars Because they are the window to your soul

I have never been to school Never carried the thick books Never got to compliment the looks Never got to chat with friends Never got to feel the bends I have never been to school I have never been to school What is it like? Can we ride our bike? And hang out with Mike What is school like? Tell me please Are there lunch fees Do they serve grilled cheese? Tell me what school is please I am dying to know So Please tell me! About this thing you call school Sounds really cool
Fantasy Spot: Click for Audio No one heard me Heard me creep out the back door when the sun was rising Or when the soft gentle wind was blowing in the morning light No one heard me when I quickly ran, Ran across the backyard to my favorite spot The spot where no one knows about The spot where the sun shine's brighter And the wind blows higher It's a place where you can get away from reality A place where you can have peace and time to think A place where you can relax and calm your anger This place is where I would like to be forever Today, I run swiftly and quietly down to that place The place of my dreams But today something doesn't seem right The sun's not smiling its usual smile The wind is not blowing its gentle breeze. What is different? Who is different? Why is it different? Where is it different? How is it different?
Blocking out the thoughts, I start to relax But I will tell you now There is something wrong with the cow A cat sites on my favorite rock And gives me a warning purr And then it hits me We have we done? Swirls appear in front of my face What have we done?
