My daughter was given an assignment in her fifth grade class to write a poem about herself. I am really proud of what she wrote.
I am emotional and tender-hearted
I wonder how God became
I hear the sound of fighting that should be stopped
I see beauty in life
I want the world to have peace
I pretend nothing bad is happening somewhere
I feel innocent
I touch someone with kindness
I worry about what will happen to the world
I cry when people can’t get along
I understand that you just need to let it out sometimes
I say, “I love you.”
I dream of God being present
I try not to argue
I hope that everyone will listen
I am Keely Dae Yeager

This is precious . . .brought tears to my eyes. Please give her a hug from me! And thank you for sharing it here!
Thanks Debbie. I will pass that along to Keely, including the hug.
Blessings,

I just gave a speech on war and so Keely’s expression of her emotion about our world fits right in with how my Toastmaster group responded. I love that she gives her heart away with the words of the poem. It is refreshingly honest and lovely at the same time.
Thank you Karen.
She has a very open and honest way about her when she writes. I will pass your thoughts along to her.
Blessings,
Chris
