The Spirit of Life - Poetry by Rhea Bumpass

During the teen summer reading program, several teens chose a painting to write a poem or short story about. The poem below was written during this program.


The Spirit of Life
by Rhea Bumpass

Young musician, play your beautiful song.
Your flowing melody makes nature grow strong.
The breath of life your song does bring,
to every tree, shrub, and flower of the Spring.
Young musician, play on, play on!
For without your song,
the love of life will dim and be gone.
