My daughter gave me this poem she wrote.
She said that her inspiration was John Lennon.
When I read it,
I simply hear my daughter as the amazing young woman she is.
So here it is.
I am sure you will be moved as I am.
we seem to focus on everybody else
and in the process we tend to lose our self
worried about weight loss and the color of our hair
all the things we say and of course the things we wear
but if we could put some time into who we are
our world would come to life
and we would all go so far
just be happy and you will see
life is much more than material things
try to be ourselves and we wouldn’t have a care
spread a little love
you have so much good to share
clear your mind, clear your mess
get those bad thoughts out of your head
help a neighbor
rescue a dog
donate you change
or just sing a happy song
smile at a stranger
and say hello
recycle paper
walk where you have to go
give a present to someone you like
have a good attitude
live a happy life
we can change the world one step at a time
it all begins with you
we only have one life

What a beautiful poem! And what a special and beautiful soul your daughter must be. My son is a huge fan of John Lennon as well. I’m so glad that he has had the chance to enjoy and understand his lyrics. I think with such wonderful and sensitive souls in our midst the future is a lot brighter than we hear it is!! Thanks for sharing! I’m a new follower from your Triber tribe!!

Thats really great. You should have her sing it over garage band and sell it on itunes. Not pushing mac, just know my neighbor does it. Really nice jenny.

She is really talented and an amazing poem. I agree with Richard. She should put it to music. I am stumbling it and going to +1 it too!

You’re very lucky. What a smart, sensible and mature young lady. I wish my sister could have been so lucky in her daughter. Her thoughts run more to changing hair colour and having the latest cell phone. It’s a pretty neat poem and a great message.
