COVID-19

Hooria Farid, 6

In this quarantine,
We will all be fine
As my brother and I stand in a line,
We make sure that we don’t whine
And we clean ourselves until we shine,
This way our health stays fine
The struggle is just not yours but also mine


Appreciating My Teacher

Hooria Farid, 6

I miss my teacher’s smiling face,
I wish I could bring her a flower vase,
And chase her in a race,
Her love can’t be replaced,
But it’s important for us to stay safe
