  5. My Heart Leaps Up By William Wordsworth My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky. So was it when my life began; So is it now I am a man; So be it when I grow old, Or let me die! The Child is father of the Man; And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety.

  6. Itby Kaley Thomas Before it happens, you can feel it come It builds rapidly all throughout your body Your heart beats fast like a drum It can happen whether your alone or with somebody Faces scrunch up and eyes begin to close Some people are quiet and others are as loud as they please It’s a natural bodily function when your nose… Has to sneeze.
