Poem:
MY BOY SOLDIER.
Crpl Gibb don't shout too loud.
My son's a soldier I am very proud.
He's only sixteen of this you know.
He's still my baby I did not want him to
go.
So remember this and count to ten.
Before you shout again and again.
He joined
the army to get away.
From all the shit where we stay.
Some lads were in a gang.
That stole car's and made them bang.
My son was not brought up that way.
And
knew he had to get away.
So remember this and count to ten.
Before you shout
again and again.
When he told me he got through selection.
I cried I did not
know what to do.
My son was leaving this I knew.
To join the army and fight for
you.
My son's a soldier I am very proud.
So count to ten don't shout too loud.
I miss him more and more each day.
I wish he hadn't gone away.
But this I had
to let him do.
It will make a man of you.
MY SON's A SOLDIER I AM VERY PROUD.
SO COUNT TO TEN
DONT SHOUT TOO LOUD.
The end
by Isabella Johnston
