Mimi's poem for a high school English assignemtn in 1960 (age 15)


Searching for the real good is like looking into a rose;
in each petal grows an idea from the stem that holds the answer.
A rose must be nourished for the beauty of its bloom, 
as a person must give kindness to experience "good": 
If a flower isn't cared for, like a person it will die with all potential goodness just wasted.
As a stern is to a flower, the heart is to a man, 
every beat a starting point of kindness to do with it what he can.
