Malala Blog and Speech

 

 

I Am Canadian

You are Malala


You have no more reason for fear
For the world now holds you dear
Your humble voice, speaking of others
You too a pearl, adored by worldly mothers

Touching the spirit of kindred souls
You have shown our senior leaders
A child can lead even the elders
You have paved that way

Humble of heart
Joyous towards mankind
Your smile is infectious
I, a simple poet, applause you

You have infected me too!
You are Malala
