A Little Boy’s Dream

By Starlene Stringer
 

When I ask my brother, Marcell, how is he

He always says, "I’m fine"

But when I asked him last Tuesday

Fear was on my mind

Terrorist have attacked us

Our country is at war

And being he’s in the military

Only God knows what’s in store

So I asked him again,

Are you sure, are you really doing fine

Then he replied with laughter

"Yeah, dressing up like G.I. Joe has always been a dream of mine"

He’s proud to defend his country

And stand up for his beliefs

Knowing that he is a Christian

Is how God gives me peace
