The Woods
Above me, the wind whispers through the trees.
I hear the sounds of the birds, in their nests above me.
The robins, bluejays, and others all sing out for my ears alone.
The squirrels chatter back and forth
Like women haggling in the market.
The woods do not
Frighten me,
As they do
The other children.
Because I know
That all the creatures
Of these woods
Mean no harm to me.
My mother promises me that
One day I will
see the beauty of the woods with her.
