This is a poem my daughter wrote in 5 minutes earlier tonight, sometimes she really amazes me. The poem is for a card she made to send to wounded war vets at Bethesda, its something her language arts teacher does every year. It maid me feel good to know some of our teachers still teach the kids that our soldiers are our real heroes.

Soldiers Night Before Christmas

By

Keegan age 11


Twas the Night Before Christmas
and all over the world
American Soldiers Stood Strongly
Protecting America's boys and girls

While standing their watch, what did they see?
Santa driving his sleigh through the night
Rudolph with his red nose
Leading Santa's Team on their long flight

This time to their delight his sleigh
was lit up red, white and blue
Santa waved to the soldiers he saw
The soldiers smiled and returned his salute

The soldiers were reminded
of all the children they stood watch for
they were hopeful
that the children got all they dreamed of and more

As Santa disappeared from sight
He Shouted
Merry Christmas to all
And to the soldiers keep up the fight

Very nice... Sounds like the folks are doing a great job of raising a caring child.

Great poem! Many teachers are great, and I plan on being one of them.

Why couldn't I have teachers like this when I was in school? Boy does Cali suck...
