Change

By Alex May

age 16

On the whims of the day, a caterpillar decides,

To not be itself anymore,

To sew a silky mask and hide.

Mysterious, magical things happen

As it weaves spells and masterpieces inside,

And when it emerges from it's smooth veil,

Unfolds magnificent wings and newfound pride.


The cottony clouds whisp gently by,

First a horse, then a lion, then a dragonfly.

They're constantly changing, never the same,

Their images are worthy of a picture frame.


Leaves waver and dance in the sunny breezes

They bloom, fall, and crinkle as nature pleases.

From green to gold to auburn to brown,

They swiftly float and grace the ground.

Changes in life happen every day

All around you, even within you, in every way.

 

 

Peace is Clean

by Anthony Hines, Jr.

age 11

Peace is clean because

How we love each other,

How we care for each other,

How we respect each other.

Peace is clean because

When we see someone down

We talk to them

and make them feel happy,

How we feel good about each other,

How we don't put anyone down.

Peace is clean because

How we support each other

How we give thanks to each other,

How we congratulate each other.

 

The Cozy Room

by Ann Deb Little

Peace Kid Mom

My room has brought so much joy

to every little girl and boy!

Stories were told

to warm the soul.

Tears were shared

for things unbared.

The rising of the sunlight

fills the room so bright!

Showing toys scattered here

and clothes scattered there.

I know that I must be blessed

to be sitting on this mess!

My cozy little room will always be there

for every little girl and boy

to come and share.

 

Hero

by Brendan Stermer, age 10, in Montevideo, MN

 

Think about the lack of peace in the world.

Don't assume that other people,

like world leaders,

will take take care of it for you.

Think about the lack of peace in the world.

Do not underestimate your ability

to change our planet's ways.

YOU are a hero

YOU are a leader.

It's your turn to change the world.

Go do it!

Peace is contagious.

 

 

PEACE IN THE WORLD

by Monique White, age 11, at Perry School Community Center, Washington, DC

 

What we need in this world is something to calm our nerves

We need something that everyone deserves

We need the world to come at peace

So all the angels can get a release.

Peace contributes the concept of life

It will brighten up the love between a husband and wife

It's feeling of the day can make you smile

Instead of walking one inch you can run a mile.

It's like a blind man receiving sight

It's like the Bible telling the truth, being right

peace in the world is what it will be

Just even thinking the word will set you free!

 
 

 

 

DEAR DR. KING

by Daniel Edwards, age 15,

at Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington Peace Camp

 

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it fly away like a lonely bird?

Dr. King wanted to live his dream.

But it was blurred.

We need Peace.

Racism needs to see the last of its days.

No more of these Saddams and KKK's.

It's an ongoing battle throughout the world.

Why can't we all love each other?

Our colors swirled.

We need Peace.

Why shouldn't we treat others

The way we want to be treated?

Without doing so,

Our life is uncompleted,

Depleted.

We need Peace.

Everywhere i go, It's all I hear.

"You're so black!" "You're so white!"

To me it's so unclear.

Makes me feel fear.

As if I was tied to train tracks.

We need Peace.

"Racism is a waste of possibilities

In human relations," as my mother once said.

She knows.

She was there when the world bled.

We need to release.

To have peace.
