This page displays poems submitted by students for the Project.
“In their wisdom, the children whose intermingled voices gave birth to the Peace Poem know that peace is far more than the absence of war. Children know that peace comes from the heart; it lives in the way we see others; it survives in the respect we show our neighbors every day. They also know, often better than adults, that today’s world is a global village and that we are all neighbors.”
Secretary-General Kofi A. Annan (http://www.un.org/cyberschoolbus/peaceday/poem/poem.asp)

Alexander, age 6 - Pilgrim School
Love is playing with my little brother.
I know my brother loves me
because he always plays with me.

Anonymous – Marlborough School - Los Angeles
Valentine's Day should be about community.
A banding together of people,
Looking past their differences,
Letting go of selfish notions,
Even if only for a day,
And sharing themselves with others
Who need a friend.

Monica - Marlborough School - Los Angeles
The sun beats down on the beach umbrellas
A little girl races to catch the approaching water
But trips along the way
There is a sting of cool water against her warm body
And a hand scoops up her form
Wrapping a sandy towel around her
Soothing words from a concerned mother are of no use
She escapes and runs to her fortress
Where a foreigner handles her toys playfully
Then stuffs them with sand and plops them down again
Creating a barrier from the oncoming flood
The rushing water seeps through a crack
But halts in its tracks because of a roadblock
The boy shoes it away and the water withdraws
Backing away slowly
A weak smile appears on the girl
Admiration for a noble knight
And a friendship to last until parting
New acquaintances may not always be bad
But friendly and loving with time

friendship, love, and hope.

A flower can remind us of our youth, or the happiness we feel each time
we think about the magic of being alive.
A flower can show the world how simple beauty truly is, and that flaws are what make
the world such an awesome home.
A flower is something that can be given to anyone, a friend, neighbor, lover, or
stranger.
And like our lives, a flower is not forever, but the memory of receiving it lives on.

Eder - Vine Street Elementary - 5th grade
Peace is a place. It's like heaven when I die.
Peace is a smell. It smells like blueberry pancakes my mom makes.
Peace is a touch. It feels like when I touch my grandma's hands and face.
Peace is an animal. It's like when a bunny runs around the grass with its baby.
Peace is when my parents or my grandparents tell me I am a sweet boy.
Peace is a color. It's the color pink on a flamingo.
Peace is a sound. It sounds like when I hear the blue ocean water.
Peace is a song. It's like hearing Ray Charles on the piano.
Peace is me because I told stories to my grandma when I was three.

Francesca - Marlborough High School - Los Angeles
Nothing compares to the feeling of love,
Being surrounded by people who care
Imagine a world where this feeling was everywhere,
If the kindness of others were extended to all,
Creating a community of peace, support, and joy
We can create this, it is simple enough.
We must end our isolation, and put aside our differences,
Because we are all human after all.
We can extend our love to everyone else,
And show our care to all beings,
Because soon enough this joy will spread,
And we can all live in the comfort of peace.

pasiencia bueno me despido que te la pases bien y que dios te cuide mucho yque
