A Child's Kingdom

[Kayla Collingwood]

Daisies and butterflies,

Clouds and rainbows,

Oceans and reefs,

Waves splashing over my feet.

 

A beautiful shell holds me inside;

I want to touch it,

Because it seems so tangible.

Everything that I could never see,

But everyone else could,

Is now accessible to me!

 

I can know who I am

Through nature's own mirror.

I am a summer rainbow,

I am a porcelain queen,

I am exactly who

I was destined to be.

 

I am a lamp in the darkness,

A halo sits above me,

Just out of my reach.

Someday I will find my way;

I will make the sky my crown,

My footstool is the ocean spray.

 

Still, I will be a wise ruler,

I will not be like those before me.

I will feed the hungry,

And I will be kind to all.

I am yet to understand

How humankind can be so cruel.

 

But with the trees as my guards,

And the rocks as my castle,

I will be safe from repercussions.

I will fight the war 

Against the evil forces,

And I will help spread love to all.
