Sue’s Poetry
The Power of Coloring
Coloring helps me to focus,
slow down my mind.
It’s my superpower.
I share my art by making
Christmas and Birthday cards.
When my CLS worker helps me,
she also feels the power of coloring.
Just Wrong
Persons of color are
still discriminated against.
People still use bad names
toward other races.
They treat those that are
different from them
with disrespect.
Thoughts on Work
Covid closed the workshop.
Days of waiting,
wondering
when I can go back.
Overjoyed when it
reopened.
Happy to get out
of the house.
Although...
I dream of having
a real part-time job.
Making real money
in the real world.
No more workshop.
Missing School
I miss going to school.
Soon, school will be open.
I miss seeing and hearing Sandy in person.
Soon, I will see and hear my teachers.
Holy and Kind
I felt happiness when I gave
support and kindness to my sister
after she broke her leg.
Mother Teresa was a nun
who was holy and kind.
I want to be holy and kind.
