Dreams & Peace Poems

I took my KWLS kids to the local bookstore to host a Celebration of Peace for MLK, Jr. Day. Here are the writings that came out of the event. The children at the event came from church and off the street. I cannot believe how profound kids can be.

Our Dreams for the World

There won’t be any violence.

To have love around the world.

Everyone will be good.

War will stop.

There will be no war and countries have peace.

Playing.

Live in peace.

(The world ) will have the will to stand up for themselves and to love anyone they want.

Everyone will be free to live with peace, and love will be everywhere.

Just to be healthy.

Everyone will have a family.

Wars will stop forever and people will have freedom and can go home to see their families.

I will have a sister that I can play with on weekends and holidays.

That I can save animals someday.

I will be a famous singer and be on stage like Miley.


Peace is like FAIRNESS.

Peace looks like A PEACE SIGN.

It sounds QUIET.

And it can be GRACEFUL,

But peace is always LOVE.


Peace is like LOVE.

Peace looks like A PEACE SIGN.

It sounds LOVING.

And it can be COOL,

But peace is always WITH YOU.


Peace is like A BIG CIRCLE OF LOVE.

Peace looks like A PEACE SIGN.

It sounds LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE.

And it can be A GARDEN,

But peace is always A GOOD JOY.


Peace is like LOVE.

Peace looks like A PRETTY DOVE.

It sounds LIKE A QUIET POND.

And it can be A LARGE BOND,

But peace is always SAFE AND SOUND.


Peace is like GIVING AND SHARING

Peace looks like HAPPY.

It sounds HAPPY.


Peace is like CALM WATER.

Peace looks like KISSES.

It sounds LIKE RABBITS SINGING.

And it can be FOR EVERYONE,

But peace is always FOR GLENN.


Peace is like FREEDOM.

Peace looks like THERE’S NO WAR.

It sounds like LOVE.

And it can be EVERYONE,

But peace is always LOVING.


Peace is like LOVE.

Peace looks like NOT WAR.

It sounds PEACEFUL.

And it can be AWESOME,

But peace is always NICE.


Peace is like FRIENDSHIP.

Peace looks like CHILDREN PLAYING.

It sounds CHILDREN LAUGHING.

And it can be ANYWHERE,

But peace is always FRIENDSHIP.


Peace sounds PEACEFUL.

And it can be A WONDERFUL FEELING,

But peace is always SILENT.
