Kindness

by Molly Smith - 8th grade

by Micah Hawxhurst - 5th grade Grade 8

Kindness, like a boomerang, always returns.” -Anonymous

Kindness, like a boomerang,

always returns,

it comes back with a bang

only true friendship is earned.

A kinship, a relationship

begins with a greeting

A link, a connection

ends in a beating.

Memories are made

with kindness and love

until something bad occurs

and someone ends up high above.

Me being me

and you being you

all I can see

is a chain between us two.

As time passes

the days are long

and the boomerang of kindness

is now passed on.

If I Were In Charge

by Liberty Kustafik - 8th grade

If I were in charge of the world

I’d cancel sickness,

haters,

bullies, and also

homework.

If I were in charge of the world

There would be chalk boards instead of white boards.

Everybody would tell the truth,

and we would have better upstanders.

If I were in charge of the world

Everyone would be happy,

Fighting wouldn’t exist,

Nobody would be homeless

You wouldn’t hear “that's not fair”

Because everything would be fair.

If I were in charge of the world

Everyone could watch anything on T.V,

Desserts would rule the world with me,

And a person who tripped on a rug,

And is kind of a bug.

Would still be allowed to be

In charge of the world.
