For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
There you sit, firm and bold,
Top of white, looking cold.
All this time, moving not,
Sitting still, in your spot.
Never change, never worry,
Summer heat, winter fury.
Overwhelming waters try
But from your place they can’t pry
Nor move you there, not at all,
Winter, spring, summer nor fall,
Rain and snow, heat and cold,
There you sit, firm and bold.

Am sure you will get a positive response as this magazine needs some good writers who can write engaging and meaningful content for young minds. It’s a bilingual magazine (Urdu and English) but the English portion is only 2+ old.
Also send in your mystery story write ups ππΊπ
