My mom sent me this poem today. It was written by a 6th grader in Sioux Falls, SD. I have posted it at my desk, just behind my computer, as a reminder of how to be.
Step by step
I erase the insults
Step by step
The taunting words disappear
Step by step
The remarks are crushed under my feet
This is how I make peace
Step by step
I forgive the chorus of teases
Step by step
The tear making sentences dies
Step by step
My own cruel comments are silenced
That is how I make peace
Step by step
I compliment instead of insult
Step by step
I defend the hushed outcasts
Step by step
I teach others to love and cancel hate
That is how you can make peace
Step by step
-Mica Standing Bear
