A poem inspired by the Inauguration Youth Poet Laureate on Wednesday Jan. 21, 2021

Can We SEE the light?

Where do children go for light in the shade

and what do we grown-ups offer, to aid?

Poet Gorman says to seek and find

light that’s near us - right inside.

And so the Turtle Timer lights up every morn’n eventide.

Bringin’ sparkle to our shining smiles

without nightly battles toil or trials.

The Turtle Timer is new, not easy to find! So try it, light up your smile, dear human kind!

-Virginia Berman, with apologies to the most wonderful youth poet laureate, Amanda Gordon
