Whose Child Is This?

This poem seems more poignant to me now, as I think about those teachers and students of Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Bloggers, feel free to snag the heart graphic made by Michelle of The 3am Teacher on Farley’s blog, Oh’ Boy 4th Grade.  You may also snag the poem above.  It is an anonymous poem that I found on the internet and typed up using Kimberly Geswein Fonts and graphics by The Digital Bake Shop and Melonheadz.  Click here for the free download file.
