Grandma, I wrote this poem about the book The
Giver*, I thought you would enjoy reading it. If you haven't
read The Giver, the poem may not make sense. Love, Maddie
THE GIVER
Memories
flashing by
No color
seen from eye to eye
One single
soul is chosen
To remember
the days of the frozen
The mistake
of a decade
Leaving
everyone afraid
by Maddie, age 10
(*Grandma's note: Dear Blog Reader: It isn't every day I'm willing to give up my platform to share it with another writer. However, the ability of a certain (yes, beloved) ten-year-old to capture the essence of this book warrants sharing this space. The Giver is by Lois Lowry and was published in 1993.
