Best Poems Written by Elizabeth Fowler

I Used To Be a Zebra

And who was to know this creature so beautiful stripped and wild
Was about to take the form of child.

A child that needed love and protecting from harm
Yet none was there to comfort, to alarm

The sting of life this child could feel 
But soon no longer as she would heal 

A journey so strong so very true
The colour was no longer an emotion, blue 

A force from above became a force within, 
Why oh why did this take so long to begin.

Why? My child I hear you ask, 
For there were lessons you needed to pass.

Enjoy this life and share your love 
For then you will know the freedom of a dove 

For I see you child I know your heart, 
Be sure to make your sweet sweet mark.
