Sister to the Poor
Mother Theresa
True
Life

September of 1946 came,
And Mother Teresa was growing in fame,
On this day in September she boarded her train,
Her thoughts were on the needy as she listened to rain.
Moti Jheel was outside, but it seemed far away,
She heard a call from God on the train, so she started to pray.
God told her to help in Moti Jheel,
For there was hungry to feed and sick to heal

Test Flight Drama
Charles Lindbergh
There are many diseases that caused things to fail,
As Mother Theresa struggled to prevail.
They did not have the luxuries such as milk,
Or treated water, clean meat or silk.
By James, Elisha and Marcus
I sat in the air feeling as light as a bird,
I felt the wind as the engine whirred.
Two or three thousand feet up the world looked like a toy
As the boy in me came out I felt a sense of joy.
I did a large bank and then I tried a spin,
I lost all control and I felt fear win.
The buck and plunge of the plance went on,
With the aerodynamics all gone.
I flew out of the cockpit, and a tug on my body came,
As the parachute released and I drifted to the plains.
I woke up on a potato patch,
And my pain began to catch.

An Average Day
Nelson Mandela
Waking up all alone,
The colours of life are in monotone.
Water from waste coming out grey,
This is just another average day.
Slaving away for hours long,
Without aid from a hopeful song.
All time for work, no time for play,
This is just an average day.
In our cell locked up tight,
No noise, light or movement for the night.
For years this has been the way,
This is just another average day.

First on the Moon
Neil Armstrong
Up, up, way up high,
Higher than the mountains, higher than the sky,
Apollo 11 was travelling through space,
The United States were winning the moon race.
Two young astronauts, named Buzz and Neil,
With no ice cream or lollies, or McDonalds for a meal.
A vast, endless vacuum was all that was seen,
No flowers of yellow, nor grasses of green.
They travelled for four days, then arrived on the moon,
History was to be made very, very soon.
Neil took the first step, while Buzz recorded,
And as it was taken, the whole world applauded.
