Life Found In An Ooh-Rah
15 weeks on an island, a real living hell.
Teardrops on paper and waiting for letters.
Realizing that you really do love him, but only after he's gone.
A broken nose and losing weight,
Not giving up on your fate.
Excited to see him, the brother you used to hate.
In his dress blues, the boy with the eagle, globe, and anchor
Surely all those new Marines will look great.
After 16 years of living of someone that you thought was a narcissist,
You never expected it'd only take a few short days to realize that he was really your best friend.
A tribute to my brother coming home this week, hope boot camp did him good.
I miss having someone at home that I can actually confide in.
