On People

I found the first poem I wrote way back in the sixth grade while organizing my computer files today. I remember Ms. Dela Cruz, an English teacher, who constantly shared this to her classes as an example for poetry projects. She urged me to continue writing. Thank you Ms. Dela Cruz. This poem will always be that spark that ignited my desire to write.

A poet sees not with his eyes

But sees as he imagines

A musician hears not with his ears

But hears the music in his heart

A teacher teaches with his knowledge

But his knowledge lives with spirit

A dreamer dreams through his mind

But he strives for this dream to come true

A fighter fights with all his might

But to win he must be true and right

A singer sings with her voice

But her voice comes from her soul

People are people, individually different

But each has spirit, heart and soul

which makes each one truly special
