1st place in the poetry competition for her age group. Many months ago the winners were chosen and we never heard a thing, so, no placement this year. I thought this poem was exceptional compared to Maddison's 3rd place winner last year. One things for sure, this poem is 1st place to me. I couldn't believe her choice of words when she quickly jotted down her submission in about 2 minutes flat. In this poem she says she was thinking of how one day she knows there will be a cure. Here it is.....
Be Strong
Behind this door
there is a flicker of light
a chance to break free
it is a reason to love
a song undiscovered
a day to live unscared
a day protected
It is a river of freedom
a path to freedom
BE STRONG
-Maddison age 8

sounds good . she is the budding poet huh ? thanks for sharing and posting this .
Well, I'm inspired.
What a beautiful poem!
This is beautiful! And so eloquently written, especially for an eight-year-old. I can't believe she didn't win anything for this. Tell Maddison to keep writing (the girl's got talent!) and never give up hope for the cure! I read your other post too, and sure hope she feels better soon!
WOW! Awesome job! I love it!
