The Child by Elizabeth Kreicker

This piece was taken from the archives of the Mother Theresa Hackelmeier Library on Marian University's main campus. It was originally published in Volume 59 by the Fioretti students of the 2000-2001 school year.

Rainbow, shooting stars and small dreams

Make you think there is more to reality than what it seems

A white unicorn or a four leave clover to pick

Make the days go by faster with each "tick"

A wishing well full of happy prayers

Helps you take the next set of stairs

A happy child full of make belief can be

more wise than a wise man, a teacher, and me
