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
