Comment from Alexandra Trovato

Excellent

This is a good acoustic poem. I do feel front lines for life should apply to wars and classrooms were gunmen are killing young children in mass numbers. No lines seem to be forming to protect those lives. I love Jesus too and He is in this conversation right now. With Peace, I am adding my feelings here, not in anger. Alex

Hi Alex, I heard several times,
but have been trying to find
out if some military veterans
have been voluntarily posted
at schools like some have expressed a desire to in
protection of schoolchildren
and their teachers. But, I
haven't read anything lately
about it. I'm a Navy veteran,
and I'm very afraid of guns.
I'm almost 66 with two very
arthritic knees and I wish I
had the funds to hire more
security at some of the local
schools. When I was in grade
school, there weren't any
tragic school shootings. It's
sickening and tragic that
there's school shootings now. Anyone who protects
children whether at a school,
at home, neighborhoods, etc.
is already on the frontlines.
I used the word Frontline in
this acrostic of prolife folks
standing on abortion clinic
sidewalks because many
prolife people have been
intimidated and/or physically
injured from prochoice
aggressive people. There is
far more prochoice violence
than there is prolife violence.
Anyway, that's what I meant
by Frontlines in the prolife
movement. If I wasn't such a
gimp because of my knees
I would try to volunteer with
younger stronger people to
guard my grandchildren's
school. It's a horrible true
real life nightmare that these
terrible shootings happen.
Many of the Lord's blessings
to you and yours. ~

nice acrostic with a strong message
good word choices with smooth flow
