Notes About The Poem

This is some music that for me goes well

I also want to thank Darren White, whi always inspires me!!! :)

Poetic Rejoice

Musical notes become antidotes
Teachers become motivators of youthful hope

Symphonies become beacons from negative yoke
Musical notes dancing with poetic spoke

Wheels in the mind start yearning and turning
With praise and hope and endearments true

Reciting dreams and reciting creative desires
Making his peers expose their joyous tears

Running to better places
Knowing glory is in the effort of all smiling faces

Now hear is a young man, with goals afloat
Ignored those who tried to sink his boat

Glory sings when you see kindness ring
Not when you see little ones pretend a sting

His peers where drowned with happiness tears
Youth has its wisdom as teachers smiled in the rear

Triumph and victory all held dear

Thank you so much for this incredible poem Arthur. It was such a privilege to see this young man find his voice and touch everyone with 'happiness tears' and then to see how it ricocheted into your heart and your poetry to be passed on to us:) Amitiés

Your words speak with a compassionate voice that supplies the catalyst to spin sad thoughts into smiles. A wonderful collage of emotions, characteristic of the beautiful soul you posses. Emile. #7

To be a teacher is a wonderful thing. My middle child has a Masters in Health Psychology. She plans to spend the next two years studying to be a primary school teacher. A marvelous combination of skills.

I still cry after watching the clip Arthur. I can only second what Darren has said we need to look at what is the inside of a person ... I can say no more for the tears:-)

The King's Speech is great, and indeed when I sing I don't stutter :) The music is great, I LOVE Einaudi. I feel proud that I inspired you. The poem is wonderful. Look deeper than the outside, look at people how they are inside. I thank you for always standing up for me, and for people who are oppressed. <3

You are inspirational with your positive attitude... there was a British TV talent show which has a contestant called Gareth Gates he stammered throughout the audition and you thought no way could he sing but my word what a talent - we are often too quick to judge and should look more to what is on the inside of a person.
