An Election Poem

As you know, we recite and illustrate a poem each week. This is our poem for this week. Let's continue to empower our children to have a voice, to speak up for justice, to change the world. 

SEED SPEECH
by Janet Wong

If you think
of words
as tiny seeds
that take root
and hold
this earth together

then you see
why it matters for us
to scatter even our smallest
thoughts out there,
to make our voices
heard --

There are no stupid questions.
And, yes:
there might be simple answers.

The birds are chirping:
more seeds,
more seeds!
