Faithful Servant

Red, white and blue Faithful and true This poem is dedicated to those Who fight in the face of war To ensure that terrorism is no more You leave behind your family You leave behind your life To take on another To save mine and that of my brother You are a mother You are a brother You are a sister You are a father You are a family You are just like me Yet so much more We owe our lives to you Our unnamed heroes Who fight a war that shouldn't be Because you are loyal to your country Risking your lives somewhere foreign To save the land you were born in I can only hope that You know who you are What you are But most of all what you mean To this country And to me.
