The idea within this poem is that everyone plays a certain part in the world and everyone has something special about them that no one else has. This poem sends a good message because a lot of people don't think that they can do anything to help the world, but just little things help people everyday. Everyone has to contribute what they can to help. People need to find out who they are, and what they are good at. This poem also means that people need to do what they can to help others, and be kind to others. just being nice to a person can brighten their day and then they can brighten other people's days and the kindness can spread. I'm not exactly sure what my verse would be, but I don't want to try to be like everyone else like so many kids these days. I think the poem below, The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost is a great poem because it shows to take a different path and do what you belive is right.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I--I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
