The Prayer of St Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
The Prayer of St Francis of Assisi
St. Francis was born at Assisi in 1182. After a care free youth, he turned his back on inherited wealth and committed himself to God. Like many early saints, he lived a very simple life of poverty, and in so doing, gained a reputation of being the friend of animals. He established the rule of St Francis, which exists today as the Order of St. Francis, or the Franciscans. He died in 1226, aged 44.

The Beech Tree
This beauty that stands before me
Unchallenged by the light of day
Or the four winds that surround her
For she has stood her own for so long
Offered her strength and shelter
For so long,
Become part, yet set within the
Ever changing feilds of time
This beauty that stands before me
She has grown through the ages
Held secrets never to be told and
Yet her wisdom seems to seep through
Every heartfelt hue,
Roots set deep and spreading
Branches that stretchout like hands
A comforting sight for onlookers
Who smile as they
Understand

: : : : ~~~ Children of tomorrow ~~~: : : :
We, our plans, in yesteryear
Unknowing real decisions,
Consequences lead-
We who came before you,
Can only offer what is left,
A Hope through shining out our last,
Pray that we in historys learning, ask, you-
The Children of tomorrow, take heed
There is much loss learned
Through selfish greed
Live and love and act loves will
Such delicate dreams that truth for fills
Unless such acts and truths be known
Then you, ideas, just overgrown
You disagree? So then -
What will there be
If its empty words and acts and deeds?
So let the beauty, live ever on
Through Hopes make acts
Then act its song
The dreams of life
A world, thats better
May live through words so carefully lettered
You
Speak kindly from a kindly heart
Let acts of love none could depart
Words Of love, instead of war
Then words of war shall be no more
You Are -
The Children of tomorrow
I pray that you may brighter shine
Within that day, I pray divine
You -
The Children of tomorrow
Through visions in Ernest, may pass it on
That those may know an open heart
May also now
Know of its song
You
The Children of tomorrow
Hold loves seed within your soul
Set it forth,
Let it grow, for
You-
The Children of tomorrow
Live life throughout your family
The whole of lifes humanity, you-
The Children of tomorrow
Not a dream without a cause
Not just ideas, but something more for
You-
The Children of tomorrow
I pray for love and
Love only~~for you

Emmy's (Senryus)
I went to the shop,
To buy some nice yellow paint,
For my living room.
I walked home from school,
It was foggy there that day,
I saw a rabbit.
I went to my gym,
I go there when i'm active,
After, I feel fresh.
Emily Wyllie (9)
