Julia recently returned from her Middle School trip to Washington, DC. During her time away, she composed this poem. Pay special attention to the first letter of each line. I think each line describes Julia, as she sees herself.
There once was a girl.
How did she grow to be so strong?
Every thing she saw, she saw with love.
Maybe it was something in the water.
Or maybe it was something different something strong.
This girl was like nothing else anyone had ever seen.
Her eyes were that of an old soul.
Every thing she loved grew strong.
Roses bloomed at her touch.
Where did she learn all of these things?
How did she obtain this power?
Outlandish is what she was
Loving was in her nature.
On the ground she could fly.
Valor is what she wishes for.
Even though others think her to be odd.
She could smile through hell and back.
Her health may be poor sometimes.
Earnings may be low.
Reminisce she will when the world has her down.
Danger is no longer a fear.
Adventure is what she searches for.
Unable she will never be.
Grateful for all she is.
Her life could never be better.
There’s more to say.
Every chance she gets she will say I love you.
Ready as I’ll ever be I give you this poem.
I was able to do everything I have up to now because of the mother who loves her daughter.
To my loving mum,
from Julia.
