"My Value, My Life, My Wisdom, My Hope" by Brandon

Elementary school student, Ruth Dykeman's Childrens Center

My value is not a thousand pounds of gold
nor a thousand wishes,
but it is like a river - it flows forever.

My life is like the mountains,
I have my high points
but I also have my low valleys.

My wisdom is not like a bare tree
but it is like a dozen trees
with fruit of all different sizes.

My hope is not a thousand roses
nor a million diamonds,
but it is like million thorns -
it protects itself from harm
but lets good in.
