Darren White

D id not believe his
A ge when first I saw his
R aw talent on show.
R evealing hidden depths,
E nlightened vision and
N atural genius.

W isdom of ages
H oused in a child like frame.
I am blown away by the
T enacity and tenderness his
E lectrifying energy exudes.

Yes, I see this all the time in young kids. HAve you seen that new tv show about kids with talent. Forgot the name of it but it was airing on Sundays and is coming back soon on tv. Great take on the contest theme.

No I haven't seen it Andrea. I think the difference with our Darren is his heart is equally as big as his nerdish brain.

To think of my own 21 year old daughter producing poems like his is mind boggling Chris. It makes me appreciate his amazing talent all the more.
