Amanda Gorman’s poem (1 Viewer)

It gave me hope. @Joe Bryantand many others have been talking about healing, and I’ve wanted to believe despite some doubts (who doesn’t have doubts)? But that amazing poem, among the best I’ve ever heard in my life, made me think that it’s real. I was in tears. And a few days removed, the more powerful it seemed. 
Anyone else feel this way? What a talent.

Watched it with my wife and 7 and 9 year old boys. Thought it was great and inspirational, especially from such a young lady.

Was amazing. Played it for my daughters and they were blown away. So much hope and passion.

She was incredible.  Spoken word poetry can be rally powerful.  And she's so young to have that much power.

At the 2010 Olympics opening ceremony there was a guy named Shane Koyczan that was unbelievable.  My teenage daughters love him.

His poem on bullying is a great one to watch with your kids.
