I guess for my first poem I'll post one of my most recent pieces. This one is titled "Just Another Day with Emily" who is one of the patients I work with on a weekly basis. I often tell people she is my hardest but also one of my favorite clients. I hope this poem will give some insight into why
Since the first day I saw Emily
I knew how special she would be
Slow to wake but quick to “speak”
A child smart with laughter bright
In her eyes there glows a light
That makes all grow weak
Love at first sight, there was no doubt
Just had to figure this girl out
A quiet presence she won't be
Though she can't say a word
She makes sure she is heard
When frustration peaks
Beautiful smile, beautiful soul
Off to school we must go
Off to music, games and art
With happy hands and hearty shrieks
She bobs along to the beat
And that's just the start
She knows she's the cat's meow
The queen of kisses she allows
So much to see, so much to feel
New adventures never cease
Each day you'll learn another piece
And that's when you'll know it's real
Just one look and you'll know too
You'll know this girl just may change you
In her eyes the truth you'll see
One realization that it'll bring
That there's simply no such thing
As just another day with Emily
Hope you all enjoyed my poem! Thoughts?
