“WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER” – Poetry from Multifaith Peace Picnic

Many people asked about the wonderful poem written and read by Naiel Ahmed Chaudry during the Peace Picnic program on September 11, 2017.

Deep appreciation to Naiel for sharing his gift of poetry — and his young wisdom — with us. 
We all need to remember this!

“WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER”
… by Naiel Ahmed Chaudry 

We can be boys and we can be girls
But altogether we’ll shine like pearls
We can be black and we can be white
But altogether we’ll have the might

We can be short and we can be tall

But altogether we’ll never fall
We can be strong and we can be weak
But altogether we’ll be unique
We can be poor and we can be rich
But altogether we’ll make the switch
We can be fast and we can be slow
But altogether we’ll make it flow
We can be right and we can be wrong
But altogether we will be strong!
