Letter From a Friend

Dear Friend Why you wondering where we stand? Me and you are tighter Then the ying yang we make with our hands I know we’re far apart But a call brings us back together No matter the hour of the day And no matter the type of weather forever But I’m glad You came to me first Each time I read your letter It hurts me even worse Because I see us more than friends We’re bothers in the Lord So if you are hurting Then I am hurting even more You can always count on me When your world is going wrong I will never turn my back on you Even if my back is against the wall And I know it’s not easy to tell our moms When it’s hard for us to stand What do they know about military life? Or the struggle for a military man? Don’t be shy Because there’s something we all do fear If I had the chance to switch services You know I’ll be right there And I am not brave I wanna be the friend you can lean on you said I can calm you down well I also wanna keep you Army strong death isn’t nothing but the devil getting to you keep believing in God he will give a path to make it through dude jus so you know I’m here I’m always around you’ve been trained good so take a step back and calm down and when you come home we’re going to party like when we was kids and laugh at all the stupid things we ever did keep your head up because this is where it has to end yours truly P.S. you’re my number one friend
