Anne Frank - Ruby Gazzard

I wait,
Wait for the large, bright moon
To shine into my tiny secret room
And brighten up the dark, scary night
I listen,
Listen to the creepy chimes
Of the tall tower clock
The tower clock that stares into my window
I watch,
I watch as the colossal sun
Falls deep down far from sight
And as the shining stars
Rise up into the gloomy sky
I’m scared
Scared of the frightening darkness
Scared of the grey shadows
Scared of the terrifying war
I think of all the beauty
Still left around me
The bright blooming flowers
The wonderful wide world
I dream,
I keep on dreaming
Dreaming of the natural beauty of our world
Dreaming of the amazing animals
Wondering what else is outside?
I’m happy
Happy to think of all the beauty still left around me.
