“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”


The desk just wanted to feel

Some love and adoration

The desk just wanted to see

All the childrens’ bright faces

The desk just wanted to hear

About the gossip at school

The desk just wanted to live

Happy and free as could be

But it could not,

For as the rest talked and smiled,

The desk stayed grounded in place

For as the rest jumped and screamed

The desk stayed quiet and serene

For it was stuck, 

With nowhere to go

No places to be

And no one to see
