SO MUCH THINGS TO SAY by KWAME DAWES AND COLIN CHANNER

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR by Li-Young Lee

soldiers with guns are at our door again.
Sister, quick. Change into a penny.
I'll fold you in a handkerchief,
put you in my pocket
and jump inside a sack,
one of the uncooked rice.

There is more to this sad but beautiful poem.
