Poem
11/07/17 My child came home from school today Unlike every other day, she didn't want to play She looked deep in thought and sat quiet for a while I asked "what's wrong? Where's your pretty smile?" She started with "well mommy I don't know what to do" "the best part of my day was coming home to you" So I asked if someone was mean to her at school She said "no not to me mommy, but most the kids are cruel" "They're mean to Bobby Joe, they say he has ugly toes" "They're mean to Rose, they say she has a crooked nose" "They pick on Sarah for wearing braces" They pick on Zoey because she can't tie her shoe laces" "They say Matt and Molly have four eyes" "They say all the teacher does is tell lies" "Curtis gets teased for the color of his skin" "Angel gets teased for having two moms, they say it's a sin" "They poke fun at Sandra, she has no hair, they threw her wig" "They poke fun at Lee and call him a pig" "They call Mark names too because he walks with a limp" "I'm not sure why, but they call him a gimp" "They said they won't be my friend if I talk to the others" "I don't really care because we all have and need each other" "I'm dreading tomorrow they're going to be mean to me too" I'm going to pray for all of them tonight, the mean ones too"
