about

I’m a fifty something woman who raised two boys and is enjoying the second half of my life. I was a stay-at-home mom for years and I’m now discovering a different side to life. I enjoyed being there for my kids even though the days were hectic I will always cherish them. I’m currently exploring my creative side after working in human services and education for a bit. I hope to make writing a full-time side business in some way. Writing has always been a passion of mine and I would love to make a living doing it. Blogging has allowed me to follow a passion of mine and share my experiences with others. I hope to share with others what I know about child development and parenting.

Gettysburg War

Many men would be called to serve

The union they were trying to preserve

The soldiers would form a pact

Each on performing a heroic act

They gathered supplies of cannons, bayonets and guns

The war had officially begun

The soldiers would stock the ammunitiion

They were on an important mission

North side started the raid

South side would soon invade

Infantry, cavalry, artillery and band

Many soldiers marched across the land

Blue would come upon a gray sighting

The two sides would start fighting

The men would hold the line

Celebrating their win with beer, gin, whiskey and wine

Bullets could be heard whizzing by

Confederates yelling a battle cry

The sound of the cannon’s boom

Death on the horizon would soon loom

Many lives would be lost

Lots of casualties would be the cost
