The Greenfly Orchid!
I sit here on the ground watching things go by
I get bored at times and I don't think I could last another day
I can be on a tree looking over everything
I smell good in the evening and don't in the morning
I may not even see tomorrow
Animals running over me
Humans harvesting me
It is so hard to live everyday
The river floods and I go under and swim
Its hard to breathe under water, so I go to the top
I want to go to Hawaii and just lay there in the sun
Look at different things
Do more!
Well I'm still here waiting for a ride to the island
But it still is a good place to live
Its more 3d here then in any movie theater
Maybe I will wait a little longer and see how things work out
Maybe I will Fly

FDR!
FDR was a strong and funny person. He married Eleanor Roosevelt and they had 6 children. His mother would always want to control his life and be the leader in everything. FDR was in to politics and so he did, but as he started his career and he was vacation with his family he got polio. This would change his life and the life of his family for ever. He tried his hardest to walk again, but nothing seemed to work. Then he heard about the water of warm springs. It was said that a cripple boy went into the pool and claimed he could walk again, so he decided to go there and see if he could walk again too. When he got there it was a resort and it fell on hard times, so he bought it and made the first founded polio research station. Mean while at home Eleanor got more confidence and she empowered her self a lot. Eleanor helped him to do more and he over came his polio in his mind. He was president for four terms. He made the New Deal and his research helped lots of people with polio. FDR learned through his life that its better to help other then yourself first.
