Competition: The school session of academic society (devoted to Defender of the Fatherland Day) Reciter: Monosov Daniil Class: 6c Teacher: Kuirukova O.K. Poem: “A word to a soldier” Good afternoon everybody! I`d like to recite a poem that is called “A word to a Soldier”. I chose this poem, because at this moment my dad is fighting on the real front for my and your Great Future! …. “A word to a soldier” Each day I grow a little more And I`m beginning to look like you Mommy always says you love me And Daddy I love you too. I know each day you think of me and wish you could come home, each day you also fight for me so that I am free to roam. You should know I miss you daddy And I really need you near So please be safe at least until the next time you are here. To you I may be very small I`m just twelve years old but often sad I want so much to hug my dad He`s protecting us from far away his life on the line every day. I watch my mom and see her cry I know, I know, but still ask “Why”? Her heart is hurting yet she tries to smile and we hold each other for a little while I`m still young yet very wise I have my fun but realize My soldier Daddyis brave and strong I pray his deployment won`t be long.
