Skye Finch, beckon me into her yard at a tender age, Since when we have remained very best of friends. I often call on her and brother Jem to sit a while on the porch, Surveying all the neighborhood where intrigue never ends. I saw and learned so much through her inquisitive and child's eyes About life, love of family, and respect for fellow man. Share with me Father Atticus's deeds and words so wise, To walk in silent of the skin, to help others whenever you can. No prejudice reigned inside her heart so full of innocence, No differences between black and white existed in her mind. All men were equal in that utopian world in which she dwelt, Where she could never comprehend how others could be unkind. From her world I learned how prejudice can poison the soul, And spread like a rabid disease from one to another, Her willing ways to help poor Boo to free him from cruel rumors. All these things taught me to consider everyone like a brother. Each page of her story filled me with joy and pleasure, And all my life this book has remained for me a true treasure.
