Poems submitted by students at Sacred Heart Catholic School Danville, Virginia (These poems were written following an interactive performance on Friday, February 26, 2010) Different Addie Leigh Milam, 8th grade Everyone is different in their own unique and special ways, Why can’t people just understand, God made us differently and yet he loves us all the same, We are all to blame, We do not love everyone, That is okay. But we all deserve to be treated with RESPECT. Most of us do not know the word. You ask why, I can’t tell you why. Most of us choose not to listen or learn. Instead of hate why can’t people just tolerate. Everyone is different, everyone.  I WANT SOMETHING By Jason Andrew Gazauskus, Grade 7 I want something I want something to do I want something to love I want tolerance I want someone to love I want someone to love me I want tolerance in the world I want respect for the world I want someone to love the world I want someone to love books I want to do something/ But I don’t know. But all I know is that I want something, But I don’t know where or when it’s coming. Laura Scearce, 3rd Grade I’m a 9-year-old kid. In a big, big world. With a Mom and Dad The best in the world. I’ve got people who love me and that’s all I need. And that’s how my life is and it’s easy to read. Kyndal Grace-Ann Moss, Grade 5 You taught me to write about anything and that it is okay to be different. You taught me to have dreams and dreams do come true. Jack Foley, 7th grade If I am walking down the street and I fall, Will you help me? If I am hurt, will you help me? If I need someone to talk to, Will you help me? If I am looking for something, Will you help me? I’ve Seen the World By Nicholas Pradhan I’ve seen the world, and the world has seen me. I’ve seen its great diversity. From Latin America to Europe to Aria, I’ve seen the world And the world has seen me. From the poverty of Kathmandu and its busy streets of chaos To the sky scrapers of NYC and the tiny people down below. I’ve seen the world, and the world has seen me. Family in El Salvador, And in Nepal, Have taught me to love, serve, and care for everyone on this big ball. To respect and trust all that I see. I’ve seen the world and the world has seen me. Nishil Patel, grade 6B Hope is great It helps in fate. Love is the key. Set it free. Today, Tomorrow By JT Milam Today is okay Tomorrow is the same When I go to bed Everything changes. Joe Gauthier, 9th Grade I learned many things about The Dream Lady. I learned that we should have tolerance for everyone no matter how different they are from us. I learned that we should never lose hope. learned that you should always tell the truth because it can prevent problems from occurring. I learned that you should always spread happiness even if you don’t feel like it. I learned several things from The Dream Lady. The World’s Diversity By Lane Whichard, 8th Grade There are many different people on earth Some think they are the same And others don’t Some hate other’s differences Without diversity There would be o creativity. There would be no learning or discovery. Everyone would be lost. There would be no excitement in life. Diversity By Kacper Tolwinski, 8th grade It doesn’t matter if someone is smarter than you, we are still the same. It doesn’t matter if someone is richer than you, we are still the same. It doesn’t matter if someone is uglier than you, we are still he same. It doesn’t matter if someone has different skin color than you, we are still the same. It doesn’t matter if someone is from a different country….speaks another language…weighs 100 pounds more, wears better clothes…lives in a better house… Why did people die during the Holocaust? Because they were different. Be Yourself By Jenna Knaus, 7th Grade Just be yourself Do what you want, never stop. It’s only your life. Make your life the best It’s yours to create and make.
