My youngest Daughter Jenna, (You know as WildChild) is now a published poet. She is in the "Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans" 2002 addition on page 161. Here's her entry .

"Love is an action that helps the soul.
It makes living worthwhile and it can turn
your worst enemy into a best friend.
Even though you can't see it you know it's there,
and it can heal damage beyond repair.
It is something that makes you laugh for joy
it doesn't make hatred or despair.
Love will help you through tough times.
It is also the thing that can cure the heart,
and that's what love is for."

Not bad for an 11 year old (when she wrote it).
