A Marine

A Marine By Joeysguy This fellow at the age of twenty A Marine he became to be He was no different than any other Marine He stood proud, he stood tall and he was lean He vowed That he would make his family proud After finishing his training he was hurt An accident left him bleeding, broken, and in the dirt Was someone watching over him that day People wishing him well with lots of kind words to say Off to the hospital where doctors put him under the knife He had a few set backs, he’s learning new ways of life He lost the ability as a Marine to go and fight For a new career he has something else in sight So many people’s hearts he had won Everyone is so proud he’s far from done Not much matters when it comes to size He still stands tall in our eyes I know he has more to give and he’s not done I know this, because he’s our grandson We wish him much love From one of us here and one of us from above
