2004
3rd in the 'Write On 2004' competition
"In myself I find a flower
A flower that grows and blooms
With each day that is so sour
It scares away the gloom
In myself I find a song
A tune with notes so high
That as I listen to this song
From my eyes come tears- I cry
But these tears are tears of joy
A new found fountain of fun
Others may be cynical and coy
But I will still reach for the sun.
"
