Hi, my name is Summer, I like to be nice,
I don’t like telling you I’m not wrong twice.
Yes, I’m friends with August, what’s the big deal?

What’s with this plague? Are you for real?
Take my advice, he’s really sweet,
And everyday he’s tired of taking all the heat,
He goes home everyday and cries under his sheets,

‘Cause all these kids makin’ fun of how he eats.
My Dad is gone but my Mum does a good job,
I get reminded every day and I try not to sob.

Courage, Friendship, Kindness, Character,

Qualities that define a human being,

Qualities that separate,

Greatness from a bully,

Courage to stand up for what is right,

Courage to stand up for the Weak and Unpopular.

Friendships that may be unpopular,

Friendships no matter what you look like,

Kindness to all no matter who they are,

Kindness because your Heart and God tell you it’s right,

Character -within us integrity,

Character-Honourable and Honest,

It takes Courage and Character to live in harmony,

That’s what separates you from a bully,

The thunder rumbles, animals drink the water.

Whilst the dead doe lies on the ground,

it creates grass for its brothers.

As the caterpillar sleeps, a butterfly emerges.

I see the worst worlds in my rose-coloured glasses.

As each little cub has its mother for warmth,

one cub lays by itself, chewing food a little weird.

As I walk towards the cub, I know he will not bite,

for he needs friends as much as I do.

When August is the centre of attention, it gets kind of annoying

When I want to say something, my mum’s answer is disappointing.

“Sorry sweety I have to go to an appointment for August”,

-well that was the answer I knew I was going to get, to be honest.

Sometimes I wish I lived with grans,

so, I could hang out with people that don’t always have plans.

This is the way it's always going to be,

unless August goes to school, so let’s see!

The first time I saw August

I felt pity for his life

Our friendship was the biggest

Until I ruined it with a lie

His eyes were disfigured

He had very small ears

When I saw him, I shivered

His brain was top tier

Soon I realised what I did

And pleaded for forgiveness

I knew it would not be easy

But I ended what I started

In the end, I won in life

With the friend who I admire

Without August along the way

I knew I would not do better

VIA is caring, loving and very persistent,

she is the older sister to Auggie that little mister!

She dislikes when Auggie gets bullied because of his looks, when he goes to study some books.

Along the way she felt like giving up,

but something extraordinary struck!

She has a little brother that needs to be taken care of

and all she needs is a little bit love!

What will they think of me?

What will they say?

They’ll betray me anyway.

No matter what I do or say,

My family’s there in every way.

Will they like me,

Can I play?

I’d be a great friend any day.

To the ones who do bully,

I have one thing to say,

I don’t need those vibes….so stay away!

I am grateful and loving

I wonder why my brother isn’t like me?

I hear Auggie’s cries when he’s back from school

I see a world where everyone is equal

I want to know what it’s like to be like Auggie

I am grateful and loving

I pretend that I don’t feel sad

I feel trapped sometimes

I touch my Grans’ hand in my dreams

I worry about Auggie

I am grateful and loving

I understand that the world doesn’t revolve around me

I say that because I know it’s true

I dream of a perfect world

I try to make things perfect; I promise you I do!

I hope that life will do me good

I am grateful and loving.

I am quite unique and caring

I wonder everyone else

I hear what people say about me

I see a time where everybody accepts me 

I want to have nice friends 

I am unique and caring.

I feel happy that I have friends who like me 

I worry that I might lose my friends 

I cry that people are mean and unfair 

I am unique and caring.

I understand people won’t always be nice to me on how I look

I say that everyone is different in their own way

I dream where we can all get along no matter how different we all are

I try to blend in with other people but that is impossible 

I hope that I will have a good life

I am unique and caring.
