The Great Sacrifice

by Makenna - Gr. 4

We understand
how you fought for us.
We understand how it was
hard saying
Good-bye.

We understand
how you travelled far
and then farther away
from your family.

We understand
how you gave us
Hope
Courage
and Freedom.
We understand
how you
bravely
sacrificed your life
just to save us.

We understand
how you believed you could do it
all for just us.

We understand how we
Owe
our lives to you
for sacrificing yours.

We
understand.

The Red and Blue

by Beth - gr. 4

Blues die, reds die
They couldn't decide what
colour is the best
And they have a war
They put their crosses up
Blues shooting
Reds shooting
They use their tanks
One army blue
One army red
They decided one thing
Blue is the color of the sky
And red is the colour of the planets
