Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Letter To Ciera You'll never watch an elephant standing on her head You will see amazing acrobats and painted clowns instead. You'll never color Easter eggs or eat a " Happy " Meal Instead you'll give pigs belly rubs - You'll know chickens dream and feel. The clamor from the ice cream truck won't be music to your ears You will know your Soy Delicious caused no suffering or tears. You may hear a gentle gobble as you softly stroke a turkey And give thanks that she's alive as you're eating your Tofurky. While other kids buy leather shoes and eat at Chucky Cheese You'll be kissing cows and feeding goats and saying " soy please! " Being different can be hard I know - This world is often cruel Maybe you'll be laughed at by the other kids at school. But compassion is a vital gift that too few share with others And your heart will not be filled with guilt the way it plagues your mother's. So don't ever be embarrassed or ashamed because you care You'll be uniquely beautiful with an empathy that's rare. And when you see a rescued lamb and touch his thick warm fleece You'll feel no sadness or remorse - You can look at him in peace. What took so long for me to learn, I'll start teaching you from birth And your footprint will be much tinier on this fragile earth. ~Heather Leughmyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
