Poem to Malawi

Mr. Meehan asked me to post this a while ago and I finally can now that my email is working. This is the poem that Laura read during the webcast (I'm pretty stage fright, I'm not good at reading my work out loud.).



To Malawi
By Meghan Kenneally


To finally meet, to see you all
Is a joy in itself.
To be able to see
The faces behind what we’ve been hearing
Is just as amazing
As the stories we’ve heard.
We want to know you,
To learn about you as yourselves
And not just as a whole.
To have us learn how to
Connect with you now,
Means that we can inch
One step closer.
To uniting our towns.
As far as they are.
Because to bond our people
And our nations
Is to start a movement of
Peace.
And you must remember
This is only step one,
The beginning of what we
Can achieve with a little bit of help,
A pinch of luck,
And a dash of hope.
