Here are a few fabulous pieces from my budding Sandburgs...

She looked out the window and was greeted by trees.

She smiled, knowing it hadn't always been like that.

She walked outside and felt rain upon her face.

She smiled, knowing she hadn't always felt like that.

She glanced to her left and noticed a deer.

She smiled, knowing it hadn't always been there.

She saw a pond on her way home, surrounded by peace.

She smiled, knowing she hadn't always seen that.

She hadn't always been there.

She hadn't always had this.

She hadn't always liked it.

She hadn't always known it.

But now she did, and she was, and it did, and it was, 

And she was happy.

By Madison

In a world filled with green, green grass

Why is there so much harmful pollution

The pollution made sick a little lass

O, it seems like there is no solution.

Why is there so much hurtful, harmful pain

What was abundant happiness can change

It is enough to drive someone insane

Yet no one seems to care which seems very strange

Why are human beings so self-absorbed

Is there someone who cares about the poor

Why is it that the others are ignored

Yet when someone reaches out, it causes snores

In a world filled with blue, blue skies

Why does no one care that the poor still cry?
