And remember, when you hurt others,
Someday, someone might hurt you.”

But at last he saw the difference

It took several days of teasing
And razzing from his friends,
But when they saw his strength
They chose to be like him.
And now out on the playground
A group of kids meets every day
For a game of kickball and laughter
And teaching their new friend, Sarah, how to play.
