When the sun is too bright I remember <br /> I want to be more than a shadow <br /> <br />When the air gets too cool I am certain <br /> I want to last more than a summer <br /> <br />Mary Havran <br /> <br />(Written when poet was eleven years old) <br /> <br />A note to the reader: I have recently spent some time revisiting my earliest poetic efforts and upon reflection have decided to post some on this site. Poems whose titles are prefixed with the esignation “zPt” are poems written during my preteen years. I hope you find them interesting<br /><br />Mary Havran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/zpt-4-more-than-summer/
