Sharing this poem with everyone (but especially my 10th graders as we finish our Holocaust unit) because I am so blown away by the message!

I had no time to hate, because
the grave would hinder me,
And life was not so ample I
Could finish enmity.

Nor had I time to love, but since
Some industry must be,
The little toil of love, I thought
Was large enough for me.
                 --Emily Dickinson

Periods 3 and 7
