HAVE PEACE NOT WAR
by Abigail Ramirez
One day my uncle went to war
He set a sail then went ashore
He fought a lot for every gain
To live in peace, he felt the pain
I respect his every deed
I, myself would like to lead
In direction to peace and rest
For I know that is the best
We should live in harmony
Because peace is full of glee.
If my uncle were alive today
I’m sure that he would like to say
“Have not war and have peace on
earth
Because that’s what our lives are
worth.”
REMEMBER US
WE ARE SOLDIERS
by Amanda Howson
Remember us we are Soldiers.
We fought in the war just for you.
We are dead now, please pray.
Remember us we are Soldiers.
We loved our land a lot.
Keep it clean,
Like it was when we were alive.
Remember us, we are Soldiers.
We fought to keep you alive.
Remember us.
Remember us.
Remember us.
