the sky is red as the sun rises in the morning
the birds start to chirp and feed on the worms
the grass has do that sparkles in the morning light
the sun comes up a little more
the animals and flowers start to rise the temperature starts to rise as the sun does
heat begins to take over the day some animals begin to hide the sun reaches its highest point
the begins to set slowly
the sky becomes red again the temperature closes
so do the flowers
animals begin to sleep
some come out to play
the night start
so the day can come in the morning
So this part of my writing isn't a poem but I just wanted to talk about something kind of personal. So I have this friend who's name is Zach. I have known Zach since I was born. He is a few years older than me and has been a good friend to me throughout the years. My family and his family would go camping every year and it would be the best week of my summer. Well when Zach graduated high school he signed up to go into the army. At first I thought it was pretty cool and didn't really think a whole lot of it but then I heard he was going to be sent to Afghanistan. This really hit home for me. Until I heard this it had never really accrued to me how real the war was, until someone very close to me was sent over there. When he was sent over I prayed constantly for his safety and that he would return safely. He would post updates on face book every once in a while saying he was all right. One day he posted a picture of one of his friends who had been killed during one of his missions. He had known this guy since he started basic training. This really made me feel even more scarred for Zach and i prayed for him even more. Luckily Zach is home safe now. He has been home for 3 weeks and hopefully will not have to go back the Afghanistan. But until you actually have someone you know go through the living hell that is war its very hard to for us to realize that what is going on over there is a reality and that people die every day. So just keep all of the soldiers over there in your thoughts and prayers because the need it.
