Walter Dean Myers Quotes
I Took The Thin Magazine From The Pouch In Front Of Me And Began To Thumb Through It. I Felt Self-conscious, As If I Shouldn't Be There. My Mind Began To Wander, As I Knew It Would, Back To The Boonies. I Was On Patrol Again. Monaco Was On Point. Peewee And Walowick Followed Him. Lobel And Brunner Were Next, Then Johnson, The Sixty Cradled In His Arm As If It Were A Child. We Were Walking The Boonies, Past Rice Paddies, Toward Yet Another Hill. I Was In The Rear, And For Some Reason I Turned Back. Behind Me, Trailing The Platoon, Were The Others. Brew, Jenkins, Sergeant Dongan, Turner, And Lewis, The New Guys, And Lieutenant Carroll.
I Knew I Was Mixing My Prayers, But It Didn't Matter. I Just Wanted God To Care For Them, To Keep Them Whole. I Knew They Were Thinking About Me And Peewee.
