Poem for Kids by: Mapy Martinez

In a unique world,

Goblins and fairies were living

But peace, the word,

Was not sounding or feeling.

 

Shouts, fights and troubles,

Were normal for life in there,

Their was always confrontation

They never tried to solve.

 

 

And the other animals

living with them nearby

thought that friendship

would some day appear.

 

But they became very sad,

when their wish was not fulfilled,

Because the goblins and fairies,

were never going to be friends.

 

But everything changed,

when suddenly, one day,

a terrific ogre appeared

in the forest, causing fear. 

 

When the goblins and fairies realized

how dangerous the ogre could be,

they decided to find a solution

so the ogre would be beat.

 

From that day on,

they worked together.

listening with their hearts

And never argued again.

 

After two days,

the ogre ran away,

and they all celebrated,

a big party was prepared.

 

From that day on,

Peace, comradeship and happiness

took hold in that place.

 

A new tradition began,

to remember all that had happened,

All the inhabitants accepted this

and were very excited by it.

 

Fairies and goblins,

painted their hands in one color.

and they all learnt

an important lesson. 

 

Peace, dedication and love

will make life more beautiful,

and living together

will be much better.

 

If you want to imitate them,

you know what you should do,

paint your hands white 

and happiness will be in your life,

because peace will follow you,

and will follow your friends too.
