~I Just Want to say thanks to the people who fought, for me and my life as I know it~ When I was small, I was taken to the parade All the large inflated animals, painted people that all made no sense. All these odd people throwing candy at me. Slowly passing by, loud bands, fancy cars Then I saw these old men, they stood out to me Although worn with time, they still have a sparkle in their eyes. Fully decorated with many small metals on their seemingly untouched dark green suits. I didn't know then, but now I realize If we had no old men in parades There would be no parades No happy people laughing No Freedom They stood and still stand for what they believe in they are the true heroes. When I grow old, I hope I can have the same sparkle of pride and freedom in my eyes. Just like the old man in the parade. Castles made of sand slip into Sea eventually... |

This was a neat story... the ending was very fairy-tale and had an element of childishness to it that was appropriate. Great work, Ewok.  ~Allan Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. |
