A Poem A Day
Once, a man never
let his feelings out.
He remembered everything.
One day, he became an explosion.
He threw pink and gray
and all the other colors,
and for the rest of his
life, he was playful.
By Chloe, 4th grade

as a child’s heart… that we would all let everything out in an explosion of colors w/o holding back… too long we become gray and colorless… p.s. i love felt!!!
Without children around to remind us, how would adults ever remember just how crucial it is to be able to play!
written exactly how it is – brilliant!
Chloe,
Keep loving life as much as you do and always write with your heart. We love you.
