2024/Jhaizen-

I am kind and nice

I wonder if kids that are not military kids have friends that last forever?

I wonder why food in school isn't free,

But I wonder, do nonmilitary kids know what the military feels?

I see the cloudy skies

I see raindrops pouring

I want a BFF

But I can't have one for long

I am a military child

When I have to move,

I pretend to be excited,

But I cry when I leave friends behind.

I worry when I feel like kids will make fun of me

I cry when I leave stuff behind

I am a military child

I understand leaving friends is hard

I tell my friends, “Today will be my last day”

We cry on my last day,

We know we don't have a choice, but we try to find a way to stay

I am a military child

I understand math and ELA,

But school sometimes gets me frustrated everyday.

Whenever I go out and play,

I see an old vision of me and my old friend,

Makes me sad,

But I'm used to it.

I'm a military child.
