Recently a friend posted on her status about some bad times.
I wanted to do more than just add my short "So sorry! Praying for you!" comment to the ones already there. So I spent an hour or so scribbling up old lecture notes as I arranged and rearranged my words so that my poem said what I meant and I meant what I said.
When you write a poem or story for someone, not only will it mean a lot to the person you give your writing to, but it will mean a lot to you. It's what makes writing worthy, and it's probably why people put a dedication page in their books.
