Enlisted

My country doesn't think we need,

Those who fought battles and won

A peacekeeping nation.

Yet they cry for action

When things go wrong,

Their faces filled with fear and indignation

They demand

Something be done.

"Don't they know we are in danger?"

They plea to a military

viewed as useless,

A military,

They forbid their sons and daughters to

Enlist.

The Love

The twenty-eighth of April

In nineteen eight-four

The day that two people were

United by love and happiness

Parents wondered what would

Be the outcome for that day

Until they saw the love

That they were bonded with

Two children are the bloom of that love

Two lives have grown older

Becasue of that love

As the years go by

And they grow aged

That love is still there'

Still growing stronger.

Some writing... :)

Tomorrow

Tomorrow,

The day looked on with anticipation.

The hopes and dreams

it seems to hold.

One gives freely of his will,

For on the morrow,

Everything will be better.

The morrow holds the keys to

Success or failure.

Is the stepping stone of life.

How can Tomorrow ever fail you?

The fail placed,

never wanes or is shaken.

For "There will be a tomorrow

and it would be better."
