Hanalei Agamaite, a 5th Grader at Montessori Community School on O‘ahu, won the ACR Hawai‘i 2015 Poetry Contest with her poem, “Peace is…”. Congratulations, Hanalei!
PEACE IS…
Peace is my word, something I’ll do.
Maybe help a little one tie her shoe.
Peace is support I get from my peers
‘Cause they’re the ones who guide me through fears.
Peace is a question, something we don’t know,
Like why some people’s lives can go so low.
Peace is a dream, an action, or thought,
Wondering how Albert Einstein was taught.
Peace is the laughter you hear from a child,
When you see them running through a field, fast and wild.
Peace is the love a husband gives to his wife,
It’s an everyday action, because peace is life.
