So I was so glad I just found your poem.I gave it to a teaher who is friends with the family to share with him after school. I think it is a great thing for teachers to have on hand and such tender wisdom. I have been "away" and missing so much on Poetry Friday. Glad to be able to connect. I read a poem of yours that is in a children's magazine (you posted on FB) and I loved it. You have such a gift for finding the "right word" for the "right place". Can't wait to see your new books. I think it is a nice goal for kids to think that some day they can be "Someone" for another in need.<br />Janet F.skanny17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488350213473016250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-31908179294615261232014-09-21T17:43:12.947-04:002014-09-21T17:43:12.947-04:00Beautiful words of comfort, Amy!

Anyway, I was up for posting last Friday at GatheringBooks and I have Walt Whitman and the sky for my poetry offering. It's called "<a href="http://gatheringbooks.org/2014/09/19/poetry-friday-walt-whitman-and-the-learnd-astronomer/" rel="nofollow">When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer</a>.

I thought of Margaret's Emily and how your simple words might support her at this time knowing that there are someones farther along the uphill path that continue to climb. I then thought of another family who is grieving over the loss of their son. Sorrow is such a heavy burden.<br /><br />Today I am revisiting the excitement and joy I felt all week as I read and reread poems from the Summer Serenity Gallery I launched. I am touched that Margaret and Holly mentioned the gallery in their comments and that there offering leads others there. My post revolves around summer serenity and the last bit of it that can be savored in the month of September. I added a glorious picture of Aspen that my daughter took while vacationing there and a poem by Helen Hunt Jackson since I am fond of 19th Century poetry. May your last days of summer be glorious.
