THEM
By: M. Baker
Can’t wait to be free…I’m excited
FOR this SEASON…Moreover, I’ll get to
go to the MALL
SHOP and relax-it’s just something I
need.
BUT..WAIT…???
That makes me stop and think…
Of those less fortunate…Who don’t
have all that I do.
They may sit in my classroom and other
teacher’s too…
…and they seem to go unnoticed
But those kids are ours…We’re
responsible!
And they need SOMEONE to CARE.
DO others notice them too and seem to
look the other way?
Is there a heart in this world?...in
this school?
Yes-It’s true
I’ll SHOP at the mall and small
boutiques near and far....maybe even travel
I really love to – I do!!!
We’ll have so much FUN –my family and
I.
Wrapping presents and eating and
staying up late.
But is it all WORTH it?
is there more to this than getting?
…WILL the MEMORIES… fade?
I love those kids from the school…surely they
know that I care…
I want them to LEARN to care too
…and they do …I can tell it..
On their faces…they want to care
too….but how can they prove it?
So come Christmas vacation…we’ll say
our goodbyes
but some will have nothing …but
they’ll know that they tried…
to make someone happy one day
And that goes a long way!!!
So yes..it’s the season and
It’s nice to get things…
BUT the memories we’ve made
That’s what counts…it’s the GIVING!!!!!?
I’m excited..OH yes but not for the
same reason as others.
It’s the kids that I teach..this
year..
…they have learned more than they’ll
know
For they have learned about giving
and benefits.
.and caring for others…and memories
NO- MEMORIES don’t fade!
They’ll stay with us ALWAYS-
And that’s more than any gifts.
HOMELESS
HAIKU
By M. Baker
Wrapped delicately
Sitting on an empty stair
Desperate children
COMPASSION
ACROSTIC
C-Caring about
others without making any discrimination
O-over one child
or the other.
M-Most people
are good-Anne Frank reminds us of that!
P-People are
people trying to survive
A-and it’s not
always easy
S-so who are
you to make it any more difficult?
S-See, it is
our obligation
I-Isn’t it?
O-or is it?
N-No one can
answer that but you!!!
Philanthropy
a way to have compassion
for others.
Where as
others
have compassion for YOU!!
And here are a few more on the topics
that we have been working on…..
Perception
Haiku
Perceive the world how?
Negative or Positive
Your outlook decides
It’s all up to you
How you view the world today.
Depending on God?
LIFE
Live as
If
Feelings are
Everything
Perception
Perception
Seeing the world
Around you
There’s Sandy Hook
It’s negative!
And life with GOD
It’s Positive!
Sooo…
Depending upon
which way you
look!
Perception is the way you SEE it!
