"The End"
Taylor Jo
Interior Elementary School
Jackson County, SD
We start as nothing more than a thought in our parents’ minds,
a bump in the belly everyone wants to touch,
an angel in a blanket being seen for the first time.
We grow into a teen trying to make it out alive.
The questions that we all think of.
What will we be when we grow up?
Where anything could happen?
A doctor who cures cancer?
A president who pays debt?
A soldier who ends the war?
In the end all we are is
a loving picture of us,
a short bible verse
and several words.
Unknown Soldier.
Loving mother.
Devoted father.
The end.
