International Peace Day
Janelle Tettey, Year 3
Peace Day is 21st of September. Peace Day has no noise. Peace Day is a sit down day. Peace Day is all over the world. Everybody celebrates Peace Day.
Peace is to be helpful. When you see a dove, it is a symbol of Peace. Peace is also saying sorry and Peace is caring for friends and giving hugs and kisses. Peace is to love your friends.
We are only children, but people can learn Peace from us.
Happy International Day of Peace!
Andrea Melissa El Hajj, Year 11
PEACE
People united around the world
Ending all wars
All of us helping one another
Citizens holding hands
Each moment is treasured.

PEACE
My definition of peace
Is a blissful moment in time
When two oceans can meet
When trees can reach out to the sky
And say a gentle ‘hello.’
It is when wild flowers will be encouraged
To grow
Where the grass is allowed to flourish all types of green
Minus the envy.
It is when the rose doesn’t have to grow thorns to protect its beauty.
It is every flower being chosen for the bouquet.
Peace is when the weeds don’t interrupt the flowers’ growth
By nipping on their sunlight
Bombing their existence
Then leaving them to the side to die.
My definition of peace
Is one that looks unattainable, far-fetched
Because we cannot accept one another
We continue to bomb one another
And discriminate against those we call ‘the other.’
But now I have chosen my own peace
I will no longer let people poison the flowers in my garden
No longer let them tell me
With which flowers to decorate my bouquet
I have chosen the peace inside
Since the one outside is rare.
