I am a sad and scared girl who is worried about her uncle. <br />I wonder if he will be safe. <br />I hear guns going off at night. <br />I see guys shooting at him in my dreams. <br />I want my uncle to come home alive. <br />I am a sad and scared girl who is worried about her uncle. <br /> <br />I pretend the war is over. <br />I feel lost when i think about it. <br />I touch his dreams while he is sleeping. <br />I cry when i hear guns. <br />I am a sad and scared girl who is worried about her uncle. <br /> <br />I understand he must fight. <br />I say he will not get hurt. <br />I dream of war. <br />I try not to cry. <br />I hope it will all be over soon. <br />I am a sad and scared girl who is worried about her uncle.<br /><br />Ashlea Bailey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-a-sad-and-scared-girl-who-is-worried-about-her-uncle/
