Gr 6 Pupil Wins Poetry Competition

Mazaltov to budding poet Aaron Levy on winning the Primary School category (Written Poetry) of the 2021 IAC/PeaceJam/Chaeli Foundation Poetry Competition with his beautiful entry “A Dying Light”.

A Dying Light

A light went out this week

A light of someone I loved

She was a grandmother of many

And a mother of two

She was my grandmother 

Mine

She carried a flaming light for many years

But eventually the light has to burn out

She always thought it better to burn out than fade away

And boy did my granny burn bright

She was always so funny and never complained

She loved us all no matter if she was in a hospital or home

She fought illness for many years

but finally

One night

She couldn’t fight it off 

No matter how hard she fought

A light went out this week

A light of someone I loved

By Aaron Levy, Grade 6 Pupil at Weizmann Primary
