He was amazing. I saw him on Larry King's show and on Oprah several times, from the time he was about 10 years old. Wise way beyond his years.
His hero was Jimmy Carter because he was "a peacemaker".

I had never heard of him, sounds like quite the young man though.

What an amazing young man. It's obvious he spoke from the heart.
I guess we all could learn from him to count our blessings. Thanks for posting this.

Glad everyone enjoyed the poem as much as I. He was a beautiful kid, and I encourage everyone to read up further on him. If he had lived a full life, who knows what kind of impact he could have made on the world.
Or then, maybe things were exactly as they are supposed to be. Either way, this young boy should be a role model for us all.
