Poem
Captain sir I'm not going to die there, sir I sit in darkness waiting with my fear, back home there are those who say we shouldn't be here... Solider...dry your eyes and do not cry, I will not let you die, we are here to survive- as they walked to the door she knew, the boy she once held now grew, he left this world to start a new, As the fallen look back, don't let them see how they react, they died and for their reason you attack, You say they didn't have to die, did that ease the pain as that mother sits to cry? a son,father,husband,brother,sister,daughter,mother, wife won't say why, They are over there to fight for us all, they are there to do what we didn't when our country called, they are there and for our freedom AND FOR YOU they are willing to fall, And you yell back home it was all for not, telling there family it was a useless war they fought, do you think it helps those kids playing in the sand lot? they are my heroes when this world needs one, they are my brother and sisters who protected me in under foreign sun, they are people I could never make it up to or will be forgotten, dads they didn't die in vain,mothers they didn't cry when Christ came, now fathers,mothers sons,daughters watch from above with out blame, and those back home who have any thing to say...that solider had a name with life's lost freedom lives on. Thank you to every solider that stands up for my freedom & fought for my life.
