Arden's Poem, "Diabetes" I found this poem in Arden's writer's notebook at the end of the school year and I wanted to share it with all of you. I asked Arden and she gave me permission to post it. I believe that these are the first words on Arden's Day to come directly from Arden.
So without further ado and transcribed exactly as she wrote it... I present, "Diabetes" a poem by Arden, age seven.
Diabetes
Why did you pick me?
Why's diabetes diabetes?
How did diabetes get here?
Why is diabetes called diabetes?
Why is there type one diabetes
and type 2 diabetes.
How did diabetes get in life?
Why are you here?
I'm not scared of you evean
that something could
haping!
