Plagiarism? Help!

[Janell Brown <jbrown@OSSB.ODE.STATE.OH.US>]

Hello Netters,

The English, Music, and myself are trying to determine whether this poem is
an original creation or has been lifted.  I have tried several searches on
poetry websites and will continue to search on my own after this posting-but
would like to ask for your help as well.  The writer wants to read it at
graduation-and if she wrote this...she's been holding out during classes, if
you get my drift.  Thank You!

I will give you the first two stanza's of the poem.

I See With My Heart

I was posed a question, not long ago,
The answer to which, I did not know.
If I could be granted, just one wish for me,
Would that wish be, the ability to see?

I tried to imagine, the things I had missed,
Like a baby's smile, or his wind-blown kiss.
Could the love for this child, be any less
Because I couldn't see, his happiness?

Thanks for your help.
