Red dots they bring daily
Big ones and little ones
Here there and everywhere far away
Dots on maps of the world
Maps of continents green and brown
Of deserts beige, ice caps white
Oceans blue – pale light and dark water
Red dots they bring daily
Big ones and little ones
Here there and everywhere far away
How could they know the gift they bring
For a little girl who traveled those roads
Far away from home
Somehow finding a path to safety
Red dots they bring daily
Big ones and little ones
Here there and everywhere far away

I’m willing to bet they never expected something so wonderful for what they offer. A great tribute, Sara.
Awww… thank you Sara, thank you … very touching and moving. As far as your commenter about our expectatlebions, let me say that we are pleasantly surprised and rewarded from time to time by fantastic comments and tributes from around the globe. Let me just share three with you:
1. A school class baked a special ClustrMaps cake to celebrate reaching 20,000 visitors…
take a look at http://glenviewgo.com/2008/11/21/20-000-blog-cake/
2. Fabulous, ‘impressionistic’ and very moving video account by FIVE-YEAR-OLD KIDS (!!!) about what the maps and dots mean to them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEBFcwaB8Rs
3. Mitch Squires recent posting “The look of joy on the face of a young girl in my class when she was able to tell us the dot on the clustrmap in Sri Lanka was her cousins listening to the podcast of her speech was priceless.” http://mitchsquires.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/connecting-my-classroom/
There are many more… have a look at http://delicious.com/clustrmaps for a general collection of testimonials and other similar links!
Many thanks for the great poem, which we’ll be linking to shortly..
All the best,
-CJ on behalf of the ClustrMaps Team
