Heartsongs from Mattie Stepanek
Mattie Mattie Stepanek started writing poetry when he was three years old. "I write to express my thoughts and feelings," he explained. "Your heartsong is your inner beauty," said Mattie. "It's the song in your heart that wants you to help make yourself a better person, and to help other people do the same. Everybody has one."
