Environment

Environment

The world is huge
and I'm so small sitting here
Now multiple me by a billion
This is what I fear
If everyone was me
The world would be so wrong
There would be no pure water
No birds to sing a song

So now I make a pledge
to keep this world clean
to reduce, reuse, recycle
to respect all I've seen

Sitting here I may be small
but what I do
will make a difference to all

Kyra Hebron


Michelle handed me this tonite when I sat down for dinner. Kyra (our oldest, 5th grade) writes down          poems all the time and some are good. But this one struck home. It seems that she was actually listening to me all these years behind all those blank stares. I'm so proud of her,as proud as a father could be.
Just the other night I learned the story of the hummingbird and this poem reminded me of that. Great job Kyra, love Dad

  1. Beautiful poem. My favorite line is "Sitting here I may be small but what I do will make a difference to all." Your daughter is very wise!!
