Eileen Manassian Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

A Person's a Person- Dr Seuss

"A person's a person, no matter how small"
No matter how fat, or how skinny, or tall
A person's a person, who lives by a dream
Who needs your respect, to boost self-esteem

"A Person's a person, no matter how small"
So don't use a label; don't make that one fall
Don't think you are better; we all are the same
A person's a person; now that's a nice name

A person's a person, who has worries too
Who lives and who struggles, a lot like you do
So why not be helpful, be kind, and be sweet
A smile and a hug, will be a great treat

Don't look at the markings or bright colored hair
Do not be judgmental; just show that you care
"A person's a person, no matter how small."
So give him your love, your blessings and alll

Quote: "A person's a person, no matter how small."
