Child Of Courage

Although she was seven carrying the weight of a twenty one

She never flinched nor ever said she was tired of such a burden

This quality of hers,I searched in other kids but found none

For other kids at her age,with this kind of overweight,had never been laden

Even at seven,she had already found out the magic of money

Whose powers would feed her family and pay for her school fees

She'd also realized that it was a sharp sword coated in honey

And under its spells,proud people were brought down to their knees

Many would do the wrong to get such a tremendous power

But for her,a child of pure heart,sold steamed buns on a cart around

She didn't beg around but relied on herself with such a vower

That with her efforts,she would proudly stand on this very ground

And me who wanted to praise the bravery,on her act,which glistened

Had steamed buns for lunch and saw her face enlightened
