Teach a Girl

For a scholarship, I had to write an essay in the form of a poem, answering the following question: "If the world was your classroom, what would you teach a girl?" I kind of like that I rhymed so well, so I wanted to share it with you guys! (I'm kind of on a poetry kick =)

With the world as my oyster,
I'd teach her in cloister,
About pencils and pens,
And how to make friends.
I'd teach her about literature, history and art,
And tell her how education provides a fresh start.
I'd open her senses, her eyes and her mind,
To a world that is cruel but incredibly kind.
With books and sheet music, movies and maps,
I could show her my world so that maybe, perhaps,
She can learn and develop, create and question
All of these wonders until our next session.
I'd show her reality - crime, disease, wars,
And help her compare our world to yours.
On a lesson of beauty, I'd bid her adieu,
Then she'd take what she's learned to somebody new.
