I came across this poem I wrote back in Literature class in JC about life. And am still wondering why I failed this piece. Here's what I wrote:

Life is great, cause...

we can wake up each morning,

able to see the sun rise.

we can go to school,

and know that our friends will be there.

we study and play hard,

if not life would be dull.

we read the news and see,

the turmoil in other countries.

but back here we know,

we are safe and sound.

we are able to reach home safely,

knowing that there's someone watching over us.

we can open the door of our houses,

and knowing that we will be drawn into open arms.

we pray for our families and,

know that they'll pray for us.

and being able to sleep tight,

knowing that we will see the sun rise again tomorrow.
