From pen to paper: Submissions for student literary artists

To be adopted is to develop an imagination,

Lower your eyelids and be mystified,

Words puzzle together to create images,

Images of what they may appear as,

Who you may look like more,

Unanswered questions of certain behaviors,

Interesting to know what it may have been like,

Not curious enough to actually live it,

Grateful enough to be accepted,

To be taken in by caring people,

Taken in under their wings,

Now soaring high with endless possibilities,

A star in the sky when I am lost,

A warm hug when I am cold,

Miracles have brought us together,

Love has connected our souls,

Support has come from these people,

People that recognize me as their own.
