My daughter recently started studying the life and poems of Emily Dickinson in her Literature Family School lessons. As port of their discussion for literature a few weeks ago in Power Hour they were each asked to write a poem on pondering. It was something Emily Dickinson did and its important in our lives as well. Madalyn shared her poem with her class and then her poetry/literature/writing obsessed mom (who also loves everything she writes) afterwards, and since she knew what my next question was before I even asked it…, here it is for you too. 😍
Pondering
By Madalyn Cady (March 2022 – age 10)
Pondering –
Is a simple thing.
We do it every day.
We do it during scriptures
And we do it when we pray.
Pondering –
Is a simple thing.
The prophets do it too.
They also know how good it is
For you and me to do.
