Circle of Joy

When they wrote their names

They were much like your name

When they wrote their ages

They were not much older then you

Only when they wrote their country

Was I aware of any difference

They are just ten little 4 and 5 year olds

Whose red handprints now form a circle

On the HOPE Hands of Peace paper roll

In the centre I wrote a great big Joy

Their Family - Your Family

Your Family- Their Family

Have no borders to divide

Caitlin this is the world

I hope for you and every child
