Our Youth In the Spotlight: Showcase #7

This next spotlight shines on Morgan 8 years old and a poem she wrote during her school assignment. Words cannot express the love behind her poem as she put pencil to paper and crafted words so joyous.

Morgan demonstrated a talent for writing early on with her vivid expression of the world around her. If you ask her she will tell you that she never wants to be a writer but is glad she can write well. Her writing has always consisted of fantasy worlds of make believe and joy. This year she has ventured into poetry as her preferred writing, as most young girls do.

What makes her stand out is who her poems are for. she often spends time writing the perfect poem for the lady next door, whom she has never met, or the mail carrier whom she really adores. While most of her poems go straight from her notepad to the receiver, this recent poem was written special for mom and I am honored to publish with this showcase.

Here is her poem;

To My Mom

You shine like the midnight rose
That gets light from whom has not been seen
He'll take your soul to make it shine
Like the sun
