Time to Celebrate!
By Keira Lee
Oh V.E. Day. Oh V.E. Day
The happiest day for some,
Others were crying tears,
While others were having fun.
Finally the brutal war was won
People could now have some fun!
Celebrating the victory of Europe
People were happy the war was won
Some people's hearts were broken
Because loved ones were gone
Fleeing their lives, to protect us all
Crying,
Singing,
Others dancing all day long
Sharing rationed food
For people to eat, all the food they want.
Oh V.E. Day. Oh V.E. Day,
Finally the war was over.
YAY!
