Reason to write
A reason to write
Children's Poetry
If you write a poem a day
It's the surest way
To write a book, make it your goal
And when you have enough to share
Send them off into the air
And hope that they will bring some joy
To very little girl and boy
And stir inside a mind that's bright
Inspiring them to read and write
