I love my parents
I love everything they do
They give me food
They give me Christmas clothes
They sent me to school
I will be a president
They love me
They love my friends
They fight for me
I love them
FOREST FIRE
Sparks Fly
Crackling Sound
Trees Down
On fire
Smoke rises up to the Sky
Wolves Howl
Bears Flee
Ash Fills up the Ground
Elk Run for their Lives.
Birds and Butterflies try
To Escape to Sky
Crickets, Worms and Ants Fry
Thunder Strikes,
The Wind Blows,
Making it Worse
Animals Die
Trees Burn,
Dogs Bark,
Fire Spreads Across,
Lives Lost
Homes Destroyed ,
Treasures ...

If the sky is blue, then fly with me!
If the sun is bright, then fly with me!
If the sea is rough, then fly with!
If you have wings, then fly with me!
If the wind blows through your wings, then fly with me!
Come here and fly with me!
~Parwana
The sky is dark, please help me!
The sun is sad, please help me!
The sea is stormy, please help me!
It needs courage to build a school!
It needs courage to touch children’s hearts!
It needs courage to welcome homelessness!
It needs courage to stand with us in one line!
It needs courage to open an educational house!
It needs courage to give hope for hopelessness!
It needs courage to give pens to those that have never touched a pen before!
I am a new flower in a tree
a unique red bird in a nest full of blue
birds. A fish out of water. I am the
school’s newborn. My school is a
new jungle in my head.
