Sonnet 35 Samanta Smith Poem by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares

It was a giant dream that set her chart
What Fates and Norns failed to make much longer 2
But she held the keys in her pen and heart
To unlock secrets of foe and anger.

When she stopped the world for a little while
She made it realize children do care
When they question nonsense in making wild
This precious orb in space we know is rare.

Ah! , let her be the last worried angel
For nuclear war that we want to cease
And let us make her a saint and laurel
Carry to her each time we pray for peace.

She will live for ever, the well known myth
Of two worlds that say: Oh! , Samantha Smith.
