Keira Lee, 10, impressed her teachers at Sompting Village Primary School in White Styles Road, Sompting, with the poem she wrote while learning about VE Day.

Called Time to Celebrate!, the poem describes the feelings of those who were going through the celebrations.

Her mother Becky, a health care assistant on the surgical ward at Worthing Hospital, said: "When I first read it i had to choke back the tears.

Keira Lee, 10, from Worthing, wrote a poem for VE Day

"It is such beautiful writing; I'm such a proud mum."

Here is the poem in full:

Time to Celebrate!

By Keira Lee

Oh V.E. Day. Oh V.E. Day

The happiest day for some,

Others were crying tears,

While others were having fun.

Finally the brutal war was won

People could now have some fun!

Celebrating the victory of Europe

People were happy the war was won

Some people's hearts were broken

Because loved ones were gone

Fleeing their lives, to protect us all

Crying,

Singing,

Others dancing all day long

Sharing rationed food

For people to eat, all the food they want.

Oh V.E. Day. Oh V.E. Day,

Finally the war was over.

YAY!
