hey semuanya!!! buat yg dah baca blog gw yg judulnya "aMaZiNg!!"... i've done a research about that boy... his name is Mattie J.T. Stepanek... i was a bit shock when i open his website, there's a message said that he has passed away on June 22 in Washington D.C. ... i hope he will be in peace now... and i'm sure he is... anyway, for u who wants to know more about him, check his website at www.mattieonline.com .... you really have to check this one out!! he's a great boy.. and here's his poem (he's a poem n song writer also a book writer aswell...) which makes me admire him so much!!!
FOR OUR WORLD
We need to stop.
Just stop.
Stop for a moment...
Before anybody
Says or does anything
That may hurt anyone else.
We need to be silent.
Just silent.
Silent for a moment...
Before we forever lose
The blessing of songs
That grow in our hearts.
We need to notice.
Just notice.
Notice for a moment...
Before the future slips away
Into ashes and dust of humility.
Stop, be silent, and notice...
In so many ways, we are the same.
Our differences are unique treasures.
We have, we are, a mosaic of gifts
To nurture, to offer, to accept.
We need to be.
Just be.
Be for a moment...
Kind and gentle, innocent and trusting,
Like children and lambs,
Never judging or vengeful
Like the judging and vengeful.
And now, let us pray,
Differently, yet together,
Before there is no earth, no life,
No chance for peace.
