O poem, you bring light
to my dark world.
O poem, you open my mind
to different things.
O poem, your words of wisdom
are like a saint.
O poem, you bring the gift of laughter
to my family and me.
O poem, each time I read you
you give me a chance in the spotlight.
O poem, when I read you,
it’s like I read God’s
spiritual mind.
O poem, you are like a chipmunk
wandering in the wild.
by Jose, 4th grade
