Additional Comments:

Jack wrote a poem for his English class and it was really really good.. He is in 9th grade. So I suggested he submit it to a local magazine and they shot back an email that they loved it.

It just came out in the Memorial Day issue!

Here it is

Thoughts of a Soldier

I don't understand

why we are fighting this war

why I was chosen out of many to fight

why friends and countymen die

Most of all

why our enemy fights us

why blood must always stain the earth

where will I go if I fall

will I be punished for my actions

what I do understand

The man beside me is here

My brothers are here

We shall all do our duty

 

OMG is that deep or what????????????????

Proud mommy moment!~

    You have a  right to be proud.  That is very a thoughtful and sensitive poem.  How nice that he is ''published.''  Better buy a bunch of copies to send relatives.

    Congratulations to you and your son.  I wonder how many copies of the magazine you will be buying. LOL.  Hope this is the start of a long and great career.

  • Thanks! I have a few *wink* LOL! It's great because he is an excellent student but usually he gets a lot of attention for Math/Science/Social Studies. English has been a weak point so it even means more~ LISA K
