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)

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.

A Loving Stranger |
|
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
