Inside a turtle’s egg A turtle is waiting Waiting to hatch and swim in the ocean Inside an eaglet An eagle is waiting Waiting to soar across the mountaintops All evolving to a new light Inside a seed A plant is waiting Waiting to grow to the treetops Inside a bud A flower is waiting Waiting to beautifully blossom All evolving to a new light Inside a caterpillar A butterfly is waiting Waiting to get its wings and fly Inside a piece of clay A sculpture is waiting Waiting to be sculpted All evolving to a new light Inside a girl A young teenager is waiting Waiting to reach for the mountaintops That girl is me I’m evolving to a new light. Trisha Datta (8), New Jersey Hard to find A true friend is someone who helps you when you’re in need. One who is not taken over by pride or greed. One who is ready to lend you her shoulder. One who extends her heart to you and stands by you like a boulder. A friend gives you strength and with her support & courage you move ahead. By giving you the drive to achieve success. We find people of different kinds. But a true friend is difficult to find. But I am lucky to have one. As she’s there to help me when there is no one.
