Subject: History...
Content: It is all around us. Everywhere we look something has happened that is recognised historicaly to atleast one person. Lake City, Florida is atleast one hundred and fifty years old; imagine all the history! If you ever walk through a cemetary, especialy an old one, take notice of certain details. look at specific grave sites and take in the effort loved ones put into preserving them. I passed by one site which caught my interest. Inside of a small, waist high, iron gated fence was an obelisk. On the sides were inscribed words from his wife and his brothers. Infront of the obelisk, lying on the ground was an iron cast of a medium sized dog, a labarador. Perhaps a cast of his best friend, loyal and missing his master? On the inside, toward the back right corner of the fence sat an iron bench. How often did a lone widow come and sit in that very spot, weeping, crying, and speaking with the man who was no longer with her? How long would she stay? Rain or shine, hot or cold? Did any of that even matter to her? What were there lives like in the late 1800's? Only history can tell and reveal to us the answers; but even then we are still left guessing! -Matthew Allen Baatz
