ABSTRACT

If we could teach our students the lessons contained within this poem, what a wonderful world this world would soon become. Have students discuss what it means to "be good to all," to "get up when you fall," and to "not ever lose your yearning." Discuss why these things are important and also discuss what would happen if we did not get up when we fell, if we were not good to others, and if we gave in and lost our yearnings.
