A Christmas Poem (copy and send it to ur friends like the bottom says!)
Christmas Poem
>
>'Twas The Night Before Christmas,
>He Lived All Alone,
>In A One Bedroom House
>Made Of Plaster And Stone.
>
>I Had Come Down The Chimney
>With Presents To Give,
>And To See Just Who
>In This Home Did Live.
>
>I Looked All About,
>A Strange Sight I Did See,
>No Tinsel, No Presents,
>Not Even A Tree.
>
>No Stocking By Mantle,
>Just Boots Filled With Sand,
>On The Wall Hung Pictures
>Of Far Distant Lands.
>
>With Medals And Badges,
>Awards Of All Kinds,
>A Sober Thought
>Came Through My Mind.
>
>For This House Was Different,
>It Was Dark And Dreary,
>I Found The Home Of A Soldier,
>Once I Could See Clearly.
>
>The Soldier Lay Sleeping,
>Silent, Alone,
>Curled Up On The Floor
>In This One Bedroom Home.
>
>The Face Was So Gentle,
>The Room In Such Disorder,
>Not How I Pictured
>A United States Soldier.
>
>Was This The Hero
>Of Whom I'd Just Read?
>Curled Up On A Poncho,
>The Floor For A Bed?
>
>I Realized The Families
>That I Saw This Night,
>Owed Their Lives To These Soldiers
>Who Were Willing To Fight.
>
>Soon Round The World,
>The Children Would Play,
>And Grownups Would Celebrate
>A Bright Christmas Day.
>
>They All Enjoyed Freedom
>Each Month Of The Year,
>Because Of The Soldiers,
>Like The One Lying Here.
>
>I Couldn't Help Wonder
>How Many Lay Alone,
>On A Cold Christmas Eve
>In A Land Far From Home.
>
>The Very Thought
>Brought A Tear To My Eye,
>I Dropped To My Knees
>And Started To Cry.
>
>The Soldier Awakened
>And I Heard A Rough Voice,
>"Santa Don't Cry,
>This Life Is My Choice;
>
>I Fight For Freedom,
>I Don't Ask For More,
>My Life Is My God,
>My Country, My Corps."
>
>The Soldier Rolled Over
>And Drifted To Sleep,
>I Couldn't Control It,
>I Continued To Weep.
>
>I Kept Watch For Hours,
>So Silent And Still
>And We Both Shivered
>From The Cold Night's Chill.
>
>I Did not Want To Leave
>On That Cold, Dark, Night,
>This Guardian Of Honor
>So Willing To Fight.
>
>Then The Soldier Rolled Over,
>With A Voice Soft And Pure,
>Whispered, "Carry On Santa,
>It's Christmas Day, All Is Secure."
>
>One Look At My Watch,
>And I Knew He Was Right.
>"Merry Christmas My Friend,
>And To All A Good Night."
>
>
>Navy * Army * Air Force * Marines * Coast Guard
>
>A United States Marine stationed in Okinawa Japan wrote this poem.
>The following is his request:
>
>"PLEASE. Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many
>people as
>you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our
>U.S. service men and women for our being able to celebrate these
>festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we
>owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who
>sacrificed themselves for us. Please, do your small part to plant this
>small seed."
>
>I think this is more than reasonable!!! If you agree Please Pass It
>On!!

i got this in an email from my friends. I thought it was so wonderful. i just had to share it with you.
so like the soldier said send it to as many people as you can....I did.

Less Stressed
As of yesterday my book report was done and handed in! Now all i have to worry about it my Chem project.
oh well that should be easy.

I had a good thanksgiving...went to my grandmother's house.. ate turkey and all that other good stuff. got really full. desert was brought out. there was pudding i ate half then couldn't eat anymore. i waited for awhile then finished it. i was determined.

i had hot cocoa today. u know whats good? you heat the water. put a pouch of plain hot cocoa mix in, stir. add milk. stir. add cool whip. stir. add 1 or 2 Andes chocolate mint thingys (rectangle shaped). let it or them melt and enjoy! its really good.

for homework yesterday i had to write a poem with our 5 english SAT vocab words. its really good considering that i m bad at writing poems. i don't have it with me so i will post it either later and tomorrow.

well G2G Bye!

Hey
Hey! sry i haven't written an entry in awhile but i've been busy. I have a chemistry project due DEC 8 and i'm just gettin started. Plus i have a book report and a chemistry take home test due DEC 1 and im not done w/ the book & yesterday i started the take home test. im gonna be soooo stressed over the thanksgiving weekend. oh well... my fault for being a procratsinator...even though i still have time.

in history we had a WWII veteran come in to talk. he was part of the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944 in Normandy, France. He landed on Utah Beach. It was very interesting what he told us. Since he didn't finish, my history teacher is gonna have him come in again to finish up.

well gotta go. TTYL

IDs
Hey! Today in school we finally got our IDs. 2 months after the pics were taken! I have this ugly black 7 on mine cuz thats when i have lunch. at least it looks better than the red one. They even ask for it at lunch and we HAVE to wear them.... or so they say.
