2. Friendship poem
2 heaping cups of patience 1 heartful of love 2 handfuls of generosity 1 headful of understanding A dash of humour Sprinkle generously with kindness and plenty of faith Mix well Spread over a period of a life time Serve to everyone you meet. Author unknown

3. Friendship poem
Fold two hands together And express a dash of sorrow Marinate it overnight And work on it tomorrow Chop one grudge in tiny pieces Add several cups of love Dredge with a large sized smile Mix with the ingredients above Dissolve the hate within you By doing a good deed Cut in and help your friend If he should be in need Stir in laughter, love, and kindness From the heart it has to come Toss with genuine forgiveness And give your neighbor some The amount of people served Will depend on you It can serve the whole wide world If you really want it to

4. I am a Child Labourer I am a child labourer
I wonder what it would be like to play each day
I hear the sound of machines in the factory where I work
I see other children around me
I want to be free
I pretend that this is not my life, that I can leave whenever I want
I feel the pain of my back and fingers after a hard day’s work
I touch the sky wishing I was a bird
I worry about making sure there is food for my family to eat
I cry myself to sleep at night
I understand that other children go to school and learn to read
I say I will get out of this life one day
I dream of something more for my own children
I try to make as much money as I can to support my family
I hope for a better life someday
I am a slave.
