A Light Unto Others

There are a few special people
Who are lights in others’ lives
There are a few special people
Who qualify in a person’s eyes
As someone who is wonderful
Someone who is kind
Someone who teaches others
Someone pure of heart and mind.
You only meet a person like this
Once in your life
And once you have found them
You have found your light.
They may be a teacher, a lover, a friend,
But when you meet this person
You hope your meeting will never end.
This person will teach you wonderful things,
And not just everyday lessons:
Things about what life may bring
Or give you important directions.
When you meet this person,
Your own special light,
Treasure them
Learn from them
Every day and night.
Tell them what they mean to you:
Show them special things
So if you have to leave them
They will know what they bring.
That way they will always know
Exactly how you feel
So even when you have to go
They can easily heal.
Remember this special person
All of your life
And tell your children’s children
How this person was your light.

Author's Note: This poem was about someone who I looked up to and respected and loved as a Mom. She despises me now, who knows why, but this reminds me of how vulnerable I was. Kids aren't just toys to abuse and hurt. Believe it or not, it feels like someone is killing you when a parent turns on you. And you don't ever recover. So, please, report and watch for abuse! And don't purposefully hurt others, because you may not know the damage it causes. |

Not bad for a 6th grader. The best way to improve on writing is to study and keep writing. |

It's hard to imagine a sixth grader writing this. It took me back to my sophmore year in high school. I had a marvelous english teacher who did more for my self confidence than anyone before or since. I truly hope you keep writing. The only way you get better is by honing your skills. Good luck and God bless. |
