Sally Brin (pt1)

When she smiled a smile,
She can make the clouds disappear.
We knew that she was different,
From the first day she appeared.

The day that she was born,
She pointed to the sky.
Then said. "look mum unicorn",
Looking up at the clouds,
A perfect one was formed.

Her mum couldn't really grasp,
How her little girl had learnt
to talk so fast. It was while
She was breast feeding,
That she asked " But mummy
Why can't I go to school ".

She seemed to grow up fast,
Her childhood was a blur.
With powers exponentially,
She suffered a witches curse.

In her witching school days,
There was nothing she could say.
As the towns people turned away,
The library became her only friend.
