Cookie's gift

  So what book did Cookie get me for Christmas?
  It's called "Ten-second Rainshowers: Poems by Young People," compiled by Sandford Lyne. Of all the books she could have somewhat-randomly picked, she did well. I like children's literature and poetry, but most of all, I like the first page where she wrote her name and "Mom."
  The other day, she came into my room first thing in the morning while I was still in bed. She put the book on my bedside table, smiled and walked back out. I told her I like the book very, very much.
  Here's a sample poem, which I chose in honor of you bloggers:

As I write
these words most
will likely be
forgotten but it took
time of my life
to do it
— Scott Denson, grade 7
