April is National Poetry Month! All month long we’ll be celebrating by posting some of our favorite poems for Poetry Friday. For our third Poetry Friday post, we chose Song in my Heart by Tony Medina, illustrated by Jesse Joshua Jackson from I and I Bob Marley.
Song in My Heart
I am the boy
From Nine Miles
The one sing
Like three little birds
In a reggae style
The one blessed
By Jah
To travel miles
Across the world
With my island girl
Guitar in hand
And my dreads
A twirl
With music
In my belly
And songs
In my heart
Healing the world
With my reggae art
Keeping you always
Like a song
In my heart
Let us know what poems you’re reading in the comments section!
