A SOLDIER IN WAR
BY AARON SCHULZ AGE 10
Soldiers being rushed to the hospital.
Soldiers trying to sleep but can't.
Soldiers crying because they miss their families.
Soldiers screaming because of nightmares.
Soldiers lighting fuses.
Grenades going off.
Clanging of jeeps.
Feeling like I'm going to cry because I miss my family.
Feeling sorry for all the soldiers with families.
Feeling that my family will still love me if I die or not.
