** The Losing Day **

I talked to my Dad on the phone,

And he said he was on his way home.

He was waiting for his plane

I didn’t realize this day would never be the same.

I went to school feeling cheerful

Little did I know that I would be fearful

When Mom picked me up I had no clue

That, I had lost you.

I didn’t understand why

So many people had to die.

It’s been a while

And it’s hard not seeing your smile.

College is tough, but I remember what you would say

“Dude, today is your day!”

You may be gone but your spirit is always alive

And I hope to live up to you and to achieve this I will strive!!!

__In Perspective of the Musket Ball__

I was loaded in the Musket for guard duty that morning with a Sentry. Later that day I saw him get hit with a “snowball” by the Patriots. He called for backup and when they arrived the patriots continued to through snowballs.

The captain, “said hold your fire!” hold your fire!” But someone heard “fire!” and they shot their musket, and then the sentry fired and away I went flying towards the civilians. I plunged into a person’s chest and was lodged inside. I knew they were terrorizing the British and calling them names but they didn’t deserve to be killed

__Text message from George Washington__

My friend The Brits are closing in and we need to defend ourselves. Me and u need to organize support for the suffering towns and supply help-G. Wash.
