A poem

This is a poem by a 4th grader in Texas. I think it's amazing.

Armed

Armed with a pencil

And a shield filled with words

I sum up my courage to face the world.

With an eraser for backup

And a book for ideas,

I rise up over the trees hung with leaves.

I rise up to the stars and above

Into a far-off universe I love.

It's quiet and peaceful

As bright as the sun

And filled with imagination;

Enough for everyone.

There's room for all,

Supplied with the inspiration you need

To click on your mind,

And finally

Succeed.
