I wrote this when I was 10 years old, about the same time that I learned to drive a car. Poetry was (maybe still is) a very important part of our education.

Springtime

In the sun, children have fun.
With sunshine and flowers, the spring has begun.
The beautiful birds are on the wing
And, oh, how they do sweetly sing

If you look with careful eye,

You will easily be able to spy
Violets here and daisies there
And little birdies everywhere!
