Sickies and ickies

Don't ya just hate it when some one comes to you and says "Oh man I feel like crap, I am so sick!" *cough cough sniff sniff*
Man! It makes me almost mad! Why do you go to school(or work) when you know you are sick?! It's like a ticking time bomb. Hi I am sick and I know you want to join me. So scoot over a little closer and let me wipe my germs all over you.
There are these two girls at my school, one in history class, the other in English. The one comes to school barely conscious, and sleeps through the whole class. The other comes and can barely speak because her nose is so clogged and her throat is so sore. I ask both of them why they are even here. I am thinking in my head, it must be because they want to spread their sickness, since that's all they really are doing! And I get the same response from both of them, "Oh *cough cough* I uh *sniff* I don't want to get behind in the lessons."
Why would you think that?!!!! One is just staring in a daze, the other is literally asleep with her head on the desk, you're gonna be behind anyway because you aren't learning anything when you are that out of your mind. GO HOME AND LEAVE YOUR GERMS TO YOURSELF!!!!!!
When you go to school sick you are not saving your grade because you aren't really learning the lesson, doing good on a test, or keeping up in your school work. When you go to work sick, you aren't preventing getting behind. You are not fuctioning correctly so you will not be able to do anything the best you can. All you are doing is wearing out your body, and giving your germs to every one else!
Did I mention I am home sick today?!

I am in the rain -A child taken by child abuse

The birds are singing, there are children swinging;
The wind is blowing, and the sun is showing.
There’s love and laughter everywhere;
A sweet scent is in the air.
But still you are away in your home;
A smile on your face has never shown.
I can see your pain, but can’t you hear my laughter;
I am in the rain.
You used to tell me when you were gone I should feel no pain for you would be in the rain.
But then times changed;
I was taken before you.
Now you cry everyday;
But have no fear for I am here.
I will hold you in your darkest coldest night.
You used to say I was crazy;
I’d run in the rain and laugh and laugh.
Though you thought I was crazy, you would come and join;
And we would laugh together.
You were always there for me;
Forever and ever.
Now that I’m gone please share this one last treasure.
Go out into the rain and laugh again;
And know that I am with you until the very end
