[bodytext] => Of things felt worth remembering, my list is truly long From moments of my childhood, to that last good rythymed song The first things that I found I liked, and those liked not so well My first attempt at trying things, the many times I failed My first view of an ocean, and climbing my first tree The little boy that lived next door, always teasing me The first time I saw Santa, that first bright Christmas tree The joy I felt to look beneath, and find a gift for me The first day spent away at school, it seemed so far from home Learning how to write my name, and reading my first poem My first new box of crayons, and all the things I drew The smile I put on mommy's face, when saying "IT'S FOR YOU!" The first time that I fell in love, the girl I took to prom Meeting friends from other lands, and learning where they're from My many many questions, I was always asking why I always thought it seemed unfair, that people couldn't fly Then my childhood ended, I went away to war The wonders of my happy life, replaced by fears and horror I lost my hope and freedom, when they told me I must go To take up arms, and hate a man, I didn't even know No more simple answers, to my simple question "why?" Who can answer simply, why another man should die? Why should I, who have no cause, to hate this foreign man Think that I might have that right, when I invade his land So yes I will remember, for I have earned that right And I will always question, when we send our boys to fight Who are these men who start these wars, and what's their reason why And why are they not right up front, when bullets start to fly? My list will still continue, for I am blessed with life Valuing the simple things, remembering the strife And when I am complaining, of something I have lost I'll think, then pause, and say a prayer, for those who paid the cost [comments] => 4 [counter] => 310 [topic] => 57 [informant] => dobad [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
