Peace Cake

Never have I seen such a beautiful cake

Painted with two big hands of Peace

Decorated by the teachers At the Nan Tao Joy School

Children all crowd around

Waiting in line for a piece

As I cut our cake with a knife

I make a wish for all of us

That each child in the world

Can be given a large slice

Of this Peace Cake covered with

Our Hands of HOPE
