you read to me your poetry
and I sit here on the carpet of hushed voices
and rapt attention
watching
listening
wishing
dreaming
thinking I want to be
just like you
your words so pretty
how do you do that?
and then you stop and smile
at me
right at me
no one else
I didn't know you could see me
here in the back
but you did
and you smiled
and I smiled back
and as you continue to read
I know
someday
I will write
and my words will touch
and I will smile
and change someone else's life
as you have changed mine
today

this I am sure she will enjoy.. a very special tribute to a very talented lady...

as for your words... what makes you think you do not already touch and change the people that read them?

Ah SEA, this is so very nice...I am so pleased that you and others enjoy my poetry...

I think in a few days I might have some good news....so I'll be back to share it with you!  Thank you for this! It's lovely, and reminds me of a few months ago, when I spent two days with several third-graders, reading to them some poetry, and the excitement that they shared with me with their attempts to write...it was a wonderful time!

She is a very special person and most worthy of the wonderful thoughts you've penned
You too are a special person ... bubbling with talent and personality to match
This group is so lucky to have so many poets here, like the two of you

thanks everyone  

Sunshine, your poetry always touches me.
I just love it, I love the style and I can almost hear you reading it, and it has made me remember the times on the "quiet carpet", so excited to hear the guest speaker/reader, and then to be recognized by the person, it touches....and kids don't forget that stuff.  How fun that you read to 3rd graders! Maybe someday I will too   I'm happy you liked this
