An adventure book for teens. "Heroes Beneath the Waves: Submarines Stories of the Twentieth Century", is filled with true stories of teen-age boys who left home to experience adventures of a lifetime. Many had never been away from home, yet they dreamed of riding a large submarine to the depths of oceans and seas, and to travel ashore in countries they only read and dreamed about.
Do I want to remember
when I was twelve
so long ago,
When I was suffering
between being a kid
and a teenage brat.
Making demands
no one understood.
Dreams of
faraway places
I wanted to run.
I wanted to explore.
I wanted to be
like the city kids.
I was tired of being
a country kid.
