Wrote this poem for my kids. I never wanted them to judge a book by it's cover. I'm proud of my children because they grew up ALWAYS respecting others and never making judgments.

             Ronnie The Albino Rhino

 
Ronnie was a gentle giant unlike your
average Rhino,
he was a little different what 
nature calls Albino.
His eyes were pink and his skin was white
but his heart was red like ours,
people always called him names but he had great pride and willpower.
He could have growled and charged at them but he only turned his head,
making the best of every day showing them kindness instead.
Even though it hurt his feelings when
others called him names,
he knew it was them not him that should
hang their heads in shame.
So next time you see someone different
don't giggle stop and stare,
it takes all kinds to make our world and
teasing simply is not fair!

Isn't seven a wonderful age to instill values and respect for anyone that might seem different on the outside.

Works until they're about seven. After that, they should know that rhinos don't growl.
