My soul is an instrument with keyboards.
It is a piano with a cushioned piano seat.
Every time I’m in position to play a song,
The song floats and fades into the sky.
My spirit is like a swan
Gliding peacefully,
White feathers on lakes and ponds,
Swimming with impeccable manners.

What a great poem for a 4th grader named Rachel Lee
What wonderful parents she has to instill in her the value of education, exploring, intermingling with such a diverse society and the value of life itself. She will make her way in the world just fine, I have no doubts.
I’m the International Host Grandmother and happy to be so.
Love you, Rachel, keep up the good work.
