A Prayer For a Special Soldier

He was a perfect son, His parents couldn't ask for more. He was the perfect brother, That never stopped caring. He was a great friend, The one to always catch you when you fall. He was the greatest boyfriend, The one that knows how to treat a girl right. So when it came time to become a perfect soldier, He had more love for his country than most. When it came time for him to go, He became the perfect soldier to protect god. Now he joins all fallen angels, But also became more of a man than he ever was. I am grateful for knowing this once in a lifetime soldier, Because he gave his life for the country he loved. My prayer is a wish that has wings, It flies to the heaven above, Asking god to love this wonderful man as one of his own, But also let him live as the unforgotten soldier. Nick, thank you for the memories, we will never forget you, but also we will always love you.
