Offered by Jennifer Craig, a.k.a. Jenny, Daughter of the Mountains, in response to her experience at the Wellness Fair

She writes, "...the poem was written in honor of the completed 19th Annual Boyertown Wellness fair at BASD High School on 14 March 2026. As wellness-fairgoers passed by my booth, I conducted a poetic survey to find out what motivated their attendance. I asked for one word to describe what they hoped to do, get, find that morning. I compiled the words and used them to compose the attached poem. People were curious about where they could find the completed poem, so I am sharing it for printing, posting and publication with credit to the poet please: Jenny Daughter of the Mountains.in response to her experience at the Wellness Fair
