I would love to share this touching and moving poem with you. I am sure it will have a significant impact on kids, parents and educators. Children are children, they deserve to be loved and respected no matter who they are and where they are. I hope this poem will serve as a wake up call, so people will stop bullying others and let them live life to the fullest.
