Two words

powerful

"push the boundaries of reality"
no, wait, not possible...can I?
why not?!

"don't think of limits"
but how can we...if we don't have ...
How can we not try?

"learning...should be reciprocal"
Wow! I never thought of that connection!
Hey, can you show me how to...?

Tap the inherent wisdom;
Turn the tide of trust,
Reciprocate respect
You care,
You listen,
We share ideas

Childish

Look to the children

Kids can be full of inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking

Look to the children

Believe in the possibilities

Push the boundaries of possibility

Look to the children

In order to make anything a reality,

you have to dream about it first

Look to the children

Kids don’t think of limitations;

They just think of good ideas

Look to the children

Learning between grown ups and kids should be reciprocal

Support the children

Kids need opportunities to lead and succeed

(I stretched the rules a bit on this one and have double the number of lines suggested to be able to make a statement by shifting my repeating line for the last stanza. It didn't feel compelling enough with only 2 stanzas before a shift! I see students choosing a repeating line to help connect all of the quotes/dialogue they notice as an easy entry into this free verse format and will use this as a model for student choice.)
