Speaking from the Heart

Minnie has always liked to write and draw. This year, she started writing poems in her journal. Some of her poems are deep, for a nine-year old. With her permission, I am able to publish them.

Blind and Deaf (October 2006)
Beauty and love are no compare to the blind and deaf. Deafend by sound, blind by faith,
But both are cared for (by God) day by day.

Gone (November 2006)
I woke up one day to try and find my Mother.
I ran to her room, but she was not there.
When father told me the news, I cried.
To find my Mother gone was horrified,
and to be taken by a heart-attack.
Then I found out it was a dream.

Getting Ready for a Day AheadI brushed my teeth; I made my bed;And now I am ready for the day ahead.
