“The Place in My Mind”
Renee R., Age 12
There’s a place in my mind
where ideas can grow
into sprouts that turn into trees.
There’s a place in my mind
where no one can go
sometimes not even me.
For there is a key
to reach that place in my mind.
Sometimes I lose it
and it’s so hard to find.
But if I find that key
and turn it into the lock,
I reach that place
where ideas are in full stock.
Where the trees stand
lush and tall and green
and I can hear the birds
and feel the gentle breeze
In the place in my mind.
