A Movie and A Poem

On December 7, 2009 by Nancy
This is a poem I wrote last night about my daughter.  She was watching the movie, A Boy In Striped Pajamas, which is a fantastic movie about the Holocaust.  If you haven’t seen the movie it’s very good, if you haven’t watched your children’s eyes, you should.   Have a blessed and wonderful day!

Sixteen…

Innocent

A girl in dresses and bows

The tomboy in her will always show

A girl with soft voice and bright eyes

Hair drifting slowly upon her shoulders

Smile lines begin to rise

Slowly a young woman

Though life intercedes

Sixteen…

Fleeting moments passing

While her life comes aglow

A girl yet a young woman

God’s treasures bestowed

  • Beautiful poem Nancy! You always have a way with words.

    Sorry I have been out of touch with you. I have SO much going on. I have a lot of business right now, and can’t seem to keep it all organized.

    God Bless you my friend!

  • Hi, Nancy~

    Kiddo and I just started reading The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. We are combining History/Language Arts/Reading together with this. We are on chapter 8 now. When we are finished reading it, we are going to watch the movie. It is my desire to take a field trip to The Holocaust Museum in Washing, DC when we are finished. Wouldn’t it be great if you guys could come here and we could go together? :> )

    Blessings, sweet friend~
