A Life Saving Exchange
My fourth grade daughter was in CRISIS!!!!
She was supposed to memorize the poem “Too Many Amanda’s” by Loris Lesynski.
She forgot the poem, and left it at school.
“MOTHERRRRR, WHAT am I going to DOOOOOOOO?”
She cried, (at eight pm Sunday night.)
“You could e-mail the author.”
Thus began a charming exchange:
My child sent her flowery, hopeful, pleading request.
Ms. Lesynski replied right away and saved the day.
Little Shelby wrote back, her dramatic and heartfelt thanks, typed in three colors of bold mix matched fonts:
“Thank you, Thank You, YOU’VE Saved
MY LIFE !!!!!!!!”
To which the author and poet, responded:
“Oh that’s great! I like saving lives with poems !!!!!!”
