FAITH'S POEMS

My daughter is wrapping up 4th Grade.  She'll be moving to the Middle School next year.

I should tell you...my daughter...she's amazing.

I know, I know...I'm her mom...of course she's amazing.  Most every parent feels that way about their child.  And they should...all children are amazing.  They are gifts from God.  I feel the same way about my son.

You have to understand, though, that my daughter has gone through some pretty rough spots in her ten years.  She's gone through more than I can ever imagine.

And she's a stronger person because of it.

I'm a stronger person because of her.

She inspires me.

Every year the 4th graders write a book of poems.

This is a big deal.

They type up their poems, include clip art and photos, and then spend a morning in the school's publishing center where they choose a cover and learn to bind these one-of-a-kind writings into a keepsake book.

Yesterday she brought home, "Faith's Fabulous Book of Poems".

I read them.

They made me laugh...and they made me cry.

I'm sharing one with you...my favorite...because it sums her up perfectly and beautifully.

Here it is:
