Sharpe Group Is Celebrating National Poetry Month
When they aren’t writing compelling donor stories or editing engaging planned giving content, Sharpe Group’s talented writers like to flex their creative muscles in other ways through creative writing, photography, painting and more.
In honor of National Poetry Month, we’d like to share some poems they’ve written.
To Give and To Share
By Grant Miller, Sharpe Group Editor
Life’s twilight—a time to reflect and ponder.
The journeys you took, the roads you wandered.
The love you shared, people embraced.
The lessons learned, the problems faced.
As you plan for your loved ones, as you write out your will,
Have you considered your life’s purpose yet to fulfill?
What about the organizations, close to your heart,
That will continue their work, long after you depart?
Leaving a legacy with a cause you hold dear,
is a gift that keeps giving, year after year.
So let your heart guide you, to give and to share.
Let your light live on; by showing how much you care.
Bathed in Elegance
By Jenni Proctor, Sharpe Group Senior Editor
As she emerges, she composes
winter’s epitaph, ushering in pleasure
instead of mourning.
She awakens dormant exuberance
that quickly take flight.
Spring explodes, bragging in vibrant
visions, solely to be admired.
I happily oblige.
In awe.
In reverence.
“Bathed in Elegance” was recently selected as a finalist in a local sidewalk poetry contest for National Poetry Month and may appear along the pathways throughout the city of Germantown, TN.
