Peace & Philadelphia Part II

There is a poem that the children wrote to go along with their Peace Quilt. The children were asked what they felt peace was or what peace looks like. I was honored this morning when Jennie showed me the illustrated poem, in book form, hot off the laminating and binding machine. The dedication and time that the children put into the artwork was unbelievable. The book was just beautiful.

The Peace Quilt Poem
A dog and a cat
A heart on a tree
Autumn leaves falling
Into the sea

Stars and a rainbow
Triangles of white
Chicks and flowers
Peeping and bright

Puppies and kittens
A cow and a moon
A big bright star
A truck that goes vroom

A horse and duckies
A heart that is red
The color of yellow
Peaceful thoughts in my head
