Songwriter
This poem was for the graduation of another student I worked with. She was very passionate about writing music, so this is what I came up with.
Place yourself into words to write a song Let the meanings and melodies move through Be bold, be brave, be beautifully you Often you’ve worried the notes’ll be wrong Yet songs can’t be wrong if feelings are true Place yourself into words to write a song Let the meanings and melodies move through One track must end for the next to belong Easy to miss when it’s been your go-to But pushing ahead leads to anthems new Place yourself into words to write a song Let the meanings and melodies move through Be bold, be brave, be beautifully you
I can hear your love for your student through this poem. I never understood why my mom called her bus kids “her kids" until I started working with kids. They really worm their ways into your heart
