Malala
Evil struck at school for her that day…
A beautiful child, wise beyond her years
Its aim- to silence her voice and put her away
To end the good work she is called to do there
Before that day the world had not heard
Of Malala, only fourteen years old of Pakistan
The local Taliban threatened but she never feared
Her faith in God is strong and on that she would stand
When the world first heard of the tragic story
I wrote the poem “Taliban” and prayed with others
We realized she was special, and did give God glory
Today she’s alive! With a message- to love one another
More Priceless is this jewel than any that Pakistan has seen
It's the children like Malala who will build a better tomorrow
Girls’ right to an education is her wish to obtain
As untold health and wealth waits to replace her country’s sorrow
