This is dedicated in loving memory of Taylor Hyer, who sadly passed away as an eighth grader. We all miss him. It was read by the principal to students, parents, and teachers on April 6,2007 at a tree planting in his memory. I am very honored to have Taylor's friends and family hear it. <br /> <br />There is nothing more beautiful than a good deed <br />a person who can stand up and take the lead <br />someone who knows each day is a gift <br />someone who's not afraid to make a wish <br /> <br />there is nothing more beautiful than a sincere smile <br />a person who can make everything worth while <br />someone who knows that in the end of the end <br />all those little wounds will eventually mend <br /> <br />there is nothing more beautiful than a hand to hold <br />a person who knows love never gets old <br />someone who likes the little things that come from day to day <br />someone who leaves you with memories that never fade away <br /> <br />there is nothing more beautiful than a new dawn <br />a moment when you look up to see the clouds are gone <br />a key to the future in the palm of your hand <br />and a place where you are understood and you understand <br /> <br />there is nothing more beautiful than heartfelt words <br />coming from a voice so longing to be heard <br />someone who knows life is more than a race against time <br />it's what you do that matters, it's what you give that makes you shine <br /> <br />there is nothing more beautiful.<br /><br />Jade Leven<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nothing-more-beautiful/
