PEACE

- an acrostic poem
written by Darius Andrei Petre (10th grade student)

People love you for your laughter, so don't ever feel sad
Even through hard times you still have those nice smiles
And cheerful days will bring joy and confidence for us all
Creators of hope and messengers of love all around
Every gray cloud leaves happiness and harmony behind.

PEACE

- an acrostic poem
written by Andrei Bănică (10th grade student)

Proud we are when we can find our happiness
Every day and everywhere there should be peace
Anyone knows that wars make people unhappy
Can't there be an effective solution to end these?
Each of us should be able to live amicably.

PEACE

- an acrostic poem
written by Adelina Dumitru (10th grade student)

Pain is what we are brought in your absence
Efforts are made to preserve you every day
As only the gifts of accord, goodwill and order
Can make this great world better and better;
Earth, you deserve to be the place of no wars!

PEACE

- an acrostic poem
written by Ana-Maria Crăciun (10th grade student)

Perfection is when we can all see the light,
Eyes that don't see the world in black and white
And smiles that shine like stars, night after night;
Come, let us learn to appreciate life's quality
Expressed by a shared ideal of harmony.

PEACE

- an acrostic poem
written by Eduard Ghinea (10th grade student)

Pacifists should be more and more
Enmity should simply cease to exist
Always equal, living in harmony,
Can't there be a different alternative
Ending this agony called war?

PEACE

- an acrostic poem
written by Ștefania Homocea (10th grade student)

Peace is as natural as the air:
Ending the evils of the world
Always warming our hearts
Creating a new landscape
Evolving into sheer paradise.

PEACE

- an acrostic poem
written by Andreea Tache (10th grade student)

Positive thoughts must always triumph
Even if everything seems to get worse and conflicts arise
An amazing feeling is to be convinced that you're not alone
Caring for the Earth and bringing peace on it
Exactly this is what makes you a fearless soul.

PEACE

- an acrostic poem
written by Carmen Mircea (10th grade student)

Peace is the most valuable word
Ever heard or spoken on this land
Able to right every wrong,
Create a defence for each child
Emerging hope under the sun.

PEACE

- an acrostic poem
written by Cezara Diaconu (10th grade student)

Parents telling their children why they went away
Every drop of hope soon becomes a castaway
And wives forgetting what their husbands'd say
Crystal clear, like a tear, is why we have to pray
Earth isn't a place where wars are welcome to stay .

PEACE

- an acrostic poem
written by Alexandru Morărașu (10th grade student)

Pain and panic we should all be spared
Entire generations do not have to die;
Allow the children to run after balloons
Cheerful laughter should be heard everywhere
Everyone should be protected from war crimes.
