One day, in class,

I heard a kid ask

Another kid, "Did you know the scientists say

That the world is ending any day?"

The other kid said that they heard it,

And I jumped in. As I sit,

I say, "I believe that it won't reach that point.

God won't let it; happen it won't.

And I have faith in Him; yes, I do.

The question I ask is, do you?"

The kid answered, that no, they don't.

And she went on. This is what she spoke:

"At least on the day the world fades away,

I will be happy; I'd have had my birthday."
