Poem
Daring Universe, Shines Its Glow On Earth Daring universe, shine its glow on earth Child prays for all of its pitiful worth Poverty born, yet bestowed with a gift Sweet blessing to write verses that uplift Travelling a road, hardship holding sway Each morn, her sincerest prayers she would pray. Blessed, those our Lord holds so very dear Life's victims broke and living in great fear Oft alone, against cruel world they face Living in rags, names easy to erase No soft, gentle kiss each night before bed Often so hungry having not been fed. Looking at a hungry dawn, hope a loss Dark and savage old world gives not a toss Shivering, no heat to warm from the cold Child crying in pain, eleven years old Begging universe today please be kind Let father today, some paying work find. Watching as mother wash torn clothes by hand Falling tears, often more than child can stand Pitiless world races without a care As weeping child looks on in stone-face stare Seeing life give others fine, sweeter gifts Child begins writing verses to uplift. As blessing of poetry, was there born Life soon starts to be less dark and forlorn Pencil and paper found to be fine gifts Words cast to apathetic world uplift Dawn soon comes as a treasure of bright light Life improves, as deep fear comes not each night. Universe sees and sends forth its soft glow Further true gifts, it may choose to bestow World finds needed warmth in her golden pen Her verse becomes famous in world of men Life had once gave just enough to survive In her heart, again hope it did revive. As years flew on by, her pen cast truest ink Poetry born to cause readers to think Of the universe and its saddest cold Shivering to child, eleven years old And her words asking for kindness and love In dark universe and heavens above. With pen she had blazed forth bolder, new trail With brave heart, she had chosen not to fail Sincere prayer and poetry gave hope That Light could penetrate life's darkest scope Where a child's sweet innocence could be seen Gifts then given, those dark world so demeans.
