Some more poems.

Face the world

Sometimes I wish I were blind,
So I wouldn't have to see the hate.
But I'm not blind,
And I can see the hate.

Sometimes I wish I were deaf,
So I wouldn't have to hear the insults.
But I'm not deaf,
And I can hear the insults.

Sometimes I wish I were mute,
So I couldn't say mean things.
But I'm not mute,
And I do say mean things.

Sometimes I wish I were brave,
So I could stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves.
But I'm not brave,
And I don't stand up.

Sometimes I wish I had courage,
So I could talk about my feelings.
But I'm not courageous,
And I don't say my feelings.

I know there are others,
Just like me.
But maybe, if we get together,
We can help each other,
Face the world.


Faces

Sad or happy, proud or sorry
Faces say a lot
Mad or daring, mournful or scary
Faces say a lot

Red or yellow, black or white
Faces say it all
Orange or brown, pink or blue
Faces say it all.

Singing or talking, shouting or yelling
Faces say a lot
Chirping or burping, whispering or smiling
Faces say a lot.

Friends
Friends re nice, kind, and fun
Caring and knowing just to name a few.

Friends are someone to talk to
Someone to laugh with to name some more.

But most of ll friends are there when you need them
and that is what I call a friend.
