Whats Lost

I know a lot wont agree with this one, but i have my reasons, its a touchy subject i know, and i'm sure reviews will be mixed but im ok with that.   A hero's life ended today, before he ever came to be;   He'll never take his first steps, or the person he's supposed to be.   He won't get to run in races, or wear the ribbons that he earned;   He won't have plaques upon his walls, in honor of all he learned.   He won't get to have a first date, or hold someone he loves so dear;   He won,t celebrate his bithdays, when they pass him by each year.   He won't bear any children, to carry on his good name;   He'll never see them smile at Christmas, or teach them any games.   He'll never get to walk down the aisle, in a dashing tuxedo all adorned;   For it was chosen for this hero not to live, before he was ever born.   He won't fight for his country, for the freedoms we all share;   For the freedom to live was denied him, by his country who forgot to care....
