[Note: My son August, 9, wrote this poem on a sick day last week.]
The shadow among us
The shadow
among us searches
for inner
love only
to get bitter
coldness and
despair for it grasps
love fear hate
and sadness
but only to
find it has
betrayed itself
within.

The Schwaner Poetry Dynasty extends its reach! Great poem.

You are blessed, Jeff, with a very talented family. It was such a pleasure meeting them all.
