Simi Shines Bright (Excerpt)
Copyright @ L. Isabelle Martel 2022

I’m Simi the Skunk,

I lived in a trunk.

 

But deep in my tree,

I ached to be free.

(…)

I had to step out

To tame fear and doubt.

(…)

There’s joy in the sun.

My courage brought fun.

(…)

The sun makes me shine,

Like jewels on my spine.

 

My little heart glows,

And confidence grows.
