Teens Trying to Prevent
Crime In America
This poem is entitled,
Teens Trying to Prevent
Crime in America. When I
created this poem, I had the
victims in mind. Therefore, it
is dedicated to each crime
victim.
Teens Trying to Prevent
Crime in America
We miss our Loved Ones
who passed away. We have
their memories everyday.
Whether it is a relative or
friend, we will remember
them until the very end. To
the teens trying to do the
right thing, this is our appre
ciation for the love you
bring. Teens trying to prevent
crime in America also shows,
'charity begins at home and
spreads abroad." We thank
the Lord for this day where
we can assemble and remem
ber our loved ones in a very
special way.
Thank you for the positive
attitude of the teens, who are
victims too. We appreciate
the hard work in school;
work and play your friends
and family thank God for
you everyday. We constantly
pray the teens grow up to be
productive citizens for all to
see. Teens trying to prevent
crime in America also say,
"Enough is enough" and like
McGruff they know "Crime
does not pay." We also have
heard "If you do the crime,
you must do the time."
Teens trying to prevent crime
in America remind us to live
a God-fearing, Peace-loving,
Law-abiding life instead of a
life full of strife. We should
be role models for our chil
dren to become the best as
our life is filled with peace,
love, joy and happiness. The
crime victims stand tonight
thanking God for his divine,
glorious light. We draw
strength from each other and
let us continue to show sin
cere LOVE and concern for
our brother.
