Too bad it's true...

This is a poem that Cadence and Teague memorized it's kind of sad because it is so true.

God and the Soldier

Author Unknown

God and the Soldier

All men adore

In time of trouble,

And no more;

For when war is over

And all things righted

God is neglected-

The old soldier slighted.

Cum Libertate Iustitiaque onmibus (With Liberty and Justice for all)

Hi Miss Rebekah,

Here is the poem from Emma Lazarus. You probably remember it because you saw it alot earlier this week. But I like to write/type poems.

The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lighting, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of you teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

And here is a verse mom found in the Bible about liberty: For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Galations 5:13

Well I hope you enjoy this post, for those who have never heard the New Colossus. Have a good day.

Her Majesty's Servants

Hi everybody,
I'm not doing much today but we are going to town tonight to shop for winter clothes :P and dad is going to take us out to dinner somewhere:) Yea!
Today for school, I read a story called Her Majesty's Servants and it's in the Jungle Book. It's about this man who can understand what animals say. He listened to a horse, mule, elephant, two bulls, and a camel argue over who fought the hardest in war. It ended up with all the animals finding out that this man was listening and they all went their own ways. But it was a really cute story. And here is a poem from the story.

Cavalry Horses

By the brand on my withers, the finest of tunes

Is played by the Lancers, Hussarsm, and Dragoons,

And it's sweeter than "Stables"or "Water" to me

The Cabalry Canter of "Bonnie Dundee"!

Then feed us and break us and handle and groom,

And launch us in column of squadrons and see

The way of the war-horse to "Bonnie Dundee"!
