Student Writing Spotlight: Cameron Rousayne

Uncle Sam

Uncle Sam

Will you sing me your lullaby

Under the fireworks

Uncle Sam

Tell my wife I love her

And my son is more than what you made me

Uncle Sam

Give me a sturdy helmet before you take my limbs

My longevity

My livelihood

My friends

My sanity

My identity

Uncle Sam

Send them my last letter

A government-provided check
