Poem
Your true dearest point when you harbored Dear dreams And then you discover life’s not what it seems Like abandoning hopes at an age Fresh and Young Did you have an idea that it’ll last so long For you left your dear home at only 18 And sent to Iraq at only 19 And been left forever with permanent scars Even though you shone through with your sweet talent bright So why did you enter with a 4.0 GPA? When the Scholarships showered you at a Multitudinous rate So Bright you could Major in any Subject you wished And still Financial Aid Mounds till your Graduate Degree So what did you think of that Beautiful Voice? If you entered in Youth at least College Choir was a choice Now Stubborn Hard winds stole most of the Treasure And the New,Mature Life Obliterated your Thoughts of Such Pleausure So what did you think of the Vagabound Life? While you prized poetry collection on the shelf gathered dust One which some though very mature, others overly ideal Therefore what crossed Your Mind when you Witnessed the Real? Did the snobbish streak strike you in diverse circumstance? Did you feel they were commoners and you better than best? With the dear loving members holding Fancy Degrees And did you look forward to the end of ordeal? And while at boot camp did you attempt to contain Your own disillusionment and a deep poignant stain At that tender age did you still fight your tears? All the while duty called you to conquer much greater fears All this Strain and Attack plagued you with horrible Nightmares Not to Mention it gave you the disorder of stress Yet the terrors continued for seven long years For you definitely felt life to you wasn’t fair Even though you gave Your all for hard won GI Bill Did ever hold thoughts that this path’d be so Grim? Though the dear teaching program greeted you with open arms P’haps you had to abandon it due to Inner Snob And continue life of horrors begun All this adversity gave you the outlook glum And your Engulfing eyes look Perpetually lost The once Muscular Frame to a—Bare shadow gone
