Kaleidoscope

The seasons on the highway Are different than those at home We see them through a kaleidoscope Of glass and steel and chrome The view beyond the window Depends on where we roam But never will the seasons look The same as those at home The kaleidoscopes swirl of colored light Is the world of our daily grind While home is the world of family Where we safely leave our loved ones behind It really doesn’t matter where the highway may lead Home is never very far from our mind And so with our hearts and home so deeply entwined Is it any wonder that visions of home Are without a doubt our favorite kind ©Annette Keller 05/2005

Hi Annette! Your poem is fun and meaningful. I mean to ask your permission to reprint it in an English Reading textbook I'm currently writing for grade 6 pupils. I am most certain they will have fun reading "Kaleidoscope" just as much as I did. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you and God bless! Sincerely, Pia Tenedero

Hi Pia! Wow, this is a unbelievable honor! I would love to give my permission for this! I am thrilled that my work will be seen by English students. I am a college student myself, in an English Creative Writing Program. What do I need to do for you, so that you may proceed with your book? I would also like to request a copy of the textbook, for myself, when finished. That will be a wonderful treasure! I will be looking forward to your response. Many Blessings! Annette Keller
