"In the pursuit of virtue, don't be afraid to overtake your teacher."
"Young people should not be taken lightly. How do you know that they will not one day be better than you are now?"

Magic

Author's Note:
This is a poem that I wrote after watching Nicholas Spark's The Notebook.  I am focusing on formatting.

Something
Happens in your heart
Brightens your face
Or brings tears to
Your eyes
Magic

For
Words cannot describe
Nor can you or I
We could attempt it
But no,
Magic

How
Do we express this?,
 With our art
Our thoughts
Our lips?
Magic

There
 Are just some things in
This wonderful world
Such as love and death
Or hope
Magic

These
Traits are not able to
Be bought with money
But the strength within
Your heart
Magic

We
Might still have some questions
About life or future family
Who will we marry, who will
We love
Magic

You
Can work your entire life
To fight for what is yours
But do not hold your breath-
In an instant,
Gone.
Magic
