Grace, age 14

As white as a clean sheet of paper
As crisp as a frozen icicle
As bright as the sun on fallen snow
As green as a piece of jade
As grey as the sea
As hot as a jalapeno and
As cold as a frozen breath of air
As vibrant as a maple in October
As fragrant as a spruce tree
As grand as a king while
As humble as a peasant
As dawn breaks across the world.
