My Shadow Mentors: A Poem by Wendy L. Macdonald

  



My Shadow Mentors


When I consider who

Shadow mentored me

I think of all the books I’ve read

Since I first learned to read

It started with Dr. Seuss 

Who showed me words are fun

And then there was Trixie Belden books

About finding the guilty one

~

When I consider who

Shadow mentored me

I think of Catherine Marshall

And her famous book: Christy 

There’s also her nonfiction

Which taught me Christ is close

When I’m humble and honest

Within the prayers I pose

~

When I consider who

Shadow mentored me

I must nod to all the books I’ve read

For they’re part of my history.

Many of your blog posts are part of my history too, dear writing friends.

Blessings ~ Wendy Mac

I'm nosy-to-know if you loved reading Dr. Seuss?  

I read his books to my grandson now. So much fun.
