Very Good! Today, we’re going to discuss the
poem entitled “A THOUSAND PAPER CRANES”.
For us to familiarize ourselves to the background of

Paper cranes symbolize peace in Japan. This idea

was inspired by Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl
who lived near Hiroshima, Japan.

She was only two years old when the atomic bomb
was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. At
the age of 11, she was diagnosed with leukemia,
known as ‘The Atomic Bomb Disease.’ Her friend
Chizuko gave her the idea of folding one thousand
paper cranes (an old Japanese legend said that
anyone who folds a thousand paper cranes pleases
the gods, and the folder is granted a wish.)

After folding 500 cranes, Sadako felt better. After a

week, she went to sleep and never woke up again.
She folded 644 cranes. Her friends continued to
fold paper cranes until Sadako’s cranes were
completed. She died on October 25, 1955.

And with a pure a noble heart
I fold a bright red crane,
Burning with emotion.

With a fervent prayer for peace Heal the World

I fold a purple crane; By: Michael Jackson
And for the people buried in the fields
I fold a yellow crane There’s a place in your heart
And then I fold a dark blue crane And I know that it is love
For the people sunken in the water’s And this place could be much brighter that
depths. tomorrow

And if you really try

With an inspiration for peace
You’ll find there’s no need to cry
I fold a grass-green crane; In this place you’ll feel there’s no hurt or sorrow
And for the lives heavier than the Earth,
I fold an indigo crane; There are ways to get there
And then I fold a soft pink crane, If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Gazing with hope and dreams, Make a better place
I fold a rainbow-colored crane
*Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living

We could fly so high let our spirits never die,

In my heart I feel you are all my brothers

Together we’ll cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into

We could really get there

If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space, to make a better place.
