Poem
rolling in the dirt weighed down strays every where and nowhere to hide no will to die but the guys with you before yourself crawling around in a foreign land sweating a gallon of wet you can hear the whiz of war planes in the air think back to the ships sending them there most important the other men before yourself How long as it been since you've seen your child if you live will he understand be proud of dad your daughter sweeter than life do you miss her hugs you know you're everything to her you dominate her dreams i want you to know as i sit here with you on my mind as i sit here with my daughters because of your sacrifice my heart wants to burst and rejuvenate your spirit bright how do i thank all the soldiers who defend our democracy thank you for everything you afford me when even one of you dies a little bit of me dies too i know no matter how empathic i am i will never really no how bad war is you are the soldier brave with your face against the wind so let me say this. thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you from every pore I possess thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you from every vessel in my heart thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you from every drop of my blood thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you before you get back on this side we are doing everything we can make sure on your return there will be people to take care of your needs do everything we can and more just one last thing thank you.
