The crow began as an enemy

at first it seemed to be so

dark and shrouded with mystery

all the elements were around

But in a classroom sat a boy

with eyes that shone like emeralds

he wrote with mixed feelings and words

the tales of a lily and a crow

To keep the creativity in place

he placed a small photo of two children

on the table next to his paper

and with a smile filled with glee

the enemy changed into something new

the crow became a friend
