My Quest
Bradbury School, Lee, Rosie - 8
I want to travel,
To the west,
And see the birds,
Making their nests.
I want to travel,
In the starry night sky,
And see my village,
From up so high.
I will travel,
On a plane,
With Sophia, Chloe,
And Elaine.
While Belle is a tiger,
Sophia ‘s a cat,
And Chloe's an eagle,
Who will help me with a bat.
This is Isabella,
She’s my human friend,
Who came along with me,
And really likes to pretend.
Now I start to travel,
It’s really fun.
But now it’s hot,
Under the sizzling sun.
I reach my destination,
And find what there is to find.
I realize it’s good and made a living,
And there’s nobody there who’s unkind.
We are living fine,
We are living great.
And I’m so happy,
Because I’ve found a mate.
