world war two books

so i was telling my friends that i read so many world war two books. they thought that was weird but it's so true. not all the books are even close to the same in fact i think wwII has the most variety of stories. it is a very sad point in world history but i think amist the trials that is where good heroes and stories are born so here are at least some of the wwII books i have read.

we were not alone- an lds family living in Germany
the impossible journey- two Russian children
number the stars- a hiding Jewish girl
the devils arithmetic - concentration camp
the hiding place- concentration camp
night - concentration camp
the diary of Anne frank- Jewish girl in hiding
after the train- Jewish boy in Germany after the war
for freedom- a teenage french spy
willow run- young girl in America with brother as solider
Lilly's crossing - young girl in America father fighting in war
climbing the stairs- girl in India during the war
and these are just the ones i remember off the top of my head. ww2 was such a sad time. and so many of these books show us that we can be positive even in the worst situations. they can take away everything except our attitudes. so be positive

imagination is more important than knowledge-albert einstein
i love this quote! if we all thougth knowledge was the most important thing in the world we would never have the liberty to create something of our own. especally if that creation intereared with the knowledge we have. think of all the amazing things we wouldn't know if we didn't have the feedom to imagine. so today let your mind wonder a bit. think outside the box and imagine.

Proud to be an american!

thanks to everyone who died making this a free country. thanks to those who care more about our country than their lives. united we stand! god bless America!

You Are AmAzInG!


You don't know you are amazing.
You don't see the strengths you own.
You don't know you are amazing.
You don't see what others know.


You don't see the light that shines
From your heart to those in need.
You don't see the gifts you give to
The little souls you help to feed.


You forget the things that matter
Are not graded in a book.
That life's very greatest treasures
Are a word, a touch, a look.


I wish that I could show you
And that you could believe
What we already know
And you, as yet, can not perceive.


You don't know you are amazing.
You don't see the strengths you own.

Enough love

it started with a light
only one single spark
but we have enough for you
enough light to spread
to brighten your world

let us light up your face
bring the light to your eyes
and lighten up your heavy heart
we have enough, more than enough
and you only make it grow
so let us give you light
and we can all shine together

i know you have been burned before
but this is good light
the kind that makes wishes true
so take our light
because we love you!

The faith giving trees

the ground was cold and heartless
winters numbness just begining to decline
the earth held no bounty
we were left to starve alone

as winters numbness just beginning to decline
we found the faith giving trees
perhaps we weren't left alone to starve
we found three friends from these

we found the faith giving trees
lined up in one row
we found three friends from these
and strength to fight it though

lined up in one row
the first gave us it's fruit
and strength to fight it though
the second to us it's wood to burn

the first gave us it's fruit
we ate till we had none
the second us it's wood to burn
our fingers no longer numb

we ate till we had none
and the third made into our home
our fingers no longer numb
we could make it clear to spring

because of our three friends
the faith giving trees
the ground was cold and heartless
but we could make it clear to spring

The lourve

from within these ancient halls
words echo from the dead
but not of ghost and spirits
but emotion locked in time

we see Davinci's love
we gimps van gouges mind
we see the strange world Picasso saw
and the angel Michelangelo set free from stone

in this ancient building
within theses hollowed halls
time stands still for us waiting
windows to look out far
far enough to see the world
a way to feel and understand
a way to ask

what made the farmers life so dull
what made time melt away
why is the man screaming
what is the lion sceaming
did Mona Lisa smile?
did the ponderer make up his mind
and what of this squiggly line

what makes something worth the time?
to see the world and paint it
and let it in your soul
we come to see it all
within these ancient halls
