My summer story

This summer I had a really great time. One of the reason is the first day of holidays.
When I was walking along the beach and checking all the people, I saw a huge rock at the end of the bay. It was a very special shape and that is why I decided that I look at it a little closer. When I came to it, the rock seemed to be even bigger and magnificent. I sat down and watched it when a boy came to me and started to telling me a story about this rock. We started to talk about other things too and we slowly became friends. Because of this rock these holidays will always be on my mind. I met a great boy and a wonderful friend.

What do you choose?

guns or roses
green or black
weapons or love
it’s your choice
I have already chosen
Philip 12 years old

Love at first sight
you look at me
I look at you
peace
let it be peace
Jossan 12 years old

Guns are no
peace is yes
and you are love
that will you know!
Jossan 12 years old


Peace around the world
peace around the globe
full with flowers,
sunshine
and peaceful humans
holding hands
Simon 12 years old

I broken all the guns
in the world
Look
it’s peace and love!
Jossan 12 years old





No war in the world
just love
war is not good in the world
but love is good
Leotrim 12 years old

Peace is love,
love is peace,
War is sorrow,
sorrow is war.
When the war is over
then the sun shines high in the sky
But when the war starts
then the sky is empty
and the sun disappears away.
Stina 12 years old

War is not good
for the world
But love
is good
Arvid 12 years old


Around the world
let it be peace
no weapon and no violence
just peace and love everywhere
Then everybody
is happy
Mattias 12 years old

There is a difference
between hate and love
but what is the difference
of piece and war
or war and love?
Eric 12 years old




War is never good
and it will never be beautiful
War never solves any problems
it only makes more of them
Peace on the other side
is a good and beautiful thing
And the world will be a better place
for everyone.
Jennifer 12 years old

Peace is love
War is bad
nothing of them can be done
when we try we fail
If we work together
we will win
If we win
we will have peace
Ilirjan 12 years old


Why do people cry?
Why do people make war?
Why do people not have fun?
Visar 12 years old


Peace.
It’s love in a stronger
emotion.
Friendship
It’s like the first snow
Cold.
But full of joy
War.
That you cannot imagine
Coldness and fear.
Happyness is drowned with
revenge and hate
But,
Peace is the most kind and loving emotion
It’s caring about the people you love.
