Be Kind

This is a little poem that I share with children at the end of my presentation on bullying. It's about friendship.

Be kind to others,

take a good look around 

Although we are different,

similarities abound.

Try not to judge,

pick on, or tease.

Treat each other fairly,

with kindness and ease.

Wait until you know,

what’s deep down inside,

You might find a friend,

standing right by your side.

A beautiful write Pat
Children are not born prejudice, they are taught as they grow
Listening to their parents, they are born with clean slates
like an empty chalk board...... Love & peace be with you

Patricia,

This is a poem that should be put up in schools and should be read by one and all. There is so much bullying, kids are committing suicide because they just can't take it anymore. Thank you for writing and sharing.

Many blessings,
Linda+

Parents should teach this to their children. You never know the future of who you are lifting up, praising, teasing or putting down. They could become our next president, a future leader or the next serial killer, rapist or terrorist. Bring Joy to the world and the world will be Joyful!

Wonderful Poem! Children need to be taught to look at what's on the inside and appreciate differences. They might find a whole new there...
