2014 – 5th Grade National 4th Place Winner

MJ Anderson, Tennessee

Violence and Compassion
Both so different
Yet equal in power
Both have an impact

Compassion,
So beautiful,
But much deeper,
Like sparkling water,
Of a crystal clear lake,
Cool to the touch,
Healing Water.

Violence,
Burning Pain,
Sad,
Heart wrenching,
Terrible,
Destroying lives.

Both so different,
Yet full of power,
Both have an impact.
