The Torch
HOLDEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WRITER'S CLUB
For Kent State President Beverly Warren
Show us the stars
we can't see
in the night sky.
Paint the picture
of our future.
Draw the outline
of tomorrow.
Be our light
and dance alongside us.
You tell us we matter—
words matter.
Outside your tall windows
our hearts open like tulips
unfurling in the sun.
Hear our cheers
welcoming you
to your new home.
You are the torch.
We are your fire.
Together we spark
a new story.
