An 11-year old’s poem

I was recently approached by 11-year old Jeremy Kitagawa at our church and he asked if he could do an interview for a poem he was writing as a school project. Of course, I was flattered and keen to find out what his poem would be like. When he sent me the result, I blushed a little, was very touched by it and amazed at the writing. I think you will see why when you read it.

Thank you, Jeremy. You make me feel good about our future!

Barry Finlay the Famous, known for his knowledge and helping the homeless,

even noted down notes for a novel, while climbing, curving, and conquering crags.

Daring and dangerous deeds they were, climbing Kilimanjaro is a careful career.

Set out sightseeing summits with his son. The genesis was gradual.

After a week they were weak. At 6000 metres, the leviathan named altitude sickness lashed at his head.

The last steps were satisfying. A day in December was when the Daredevil was born. Accountant at first, Adventurer after. Talked to on T.V. Winning wood carver he was. A stupendous scribe for the society!

Hired experts to help the homeless, accomplished amazing actions.

Some singers, a celebrity and a sorcerer helped in the struggle to protest against poverty.

An award from the queen was given gracefully to him. Eventually escaped eminence to Evelyn, his wife.

As a child, a foresight at the family farm foretold he would follow philanthropy as his future.
