What Child Is This
What child is this, shy and polite,
who never likes to pick a fight,
who with a novel likes to be
alone and reading quietly
so very late into the night?
I know you think you’re not too bright,
but dear, you will turn out all right.
And one day you’ll look back to see
what child this is!
You’ll see yourself in a new light,
and then your soul will reach new height.
Your love right now for fantasy
will serve you well with poetry;
you’ll one day write with great delight
