The new and improved poem:
Hate
is a
giant word that
is intricate and full.
When I was rather little
this word, banned from my vocabulary,
made me question and ponder its meaning.
I didn’t look far to find it expressed:
in the news, at my school, in my home.
A four letter word so modest and yet so strong…
A girl so young could not know this word’s true impact.
I find myself thankful for the wisdom of my mother: banning hate.
