Fighting Together

" Fighting Together "

One day he is here
the next day he is gone
as the ugly battle rages
he eagerly presses on
he looks ahead
he looks behind
this is a war
no time to be kind
he must move swiftly
he must keep a quick pace
each and every move
he stares death in the face
he knows what he must do
his mission is clear
he must be strong
he must not fear
his fighting friends
lay by his side 
Fighting Together
just before they died
he has to hear it
the war time sound
it is death
that’s all around
he must not sit
around and stare
he has to fight
and show he cares
he wears a cross
he is proud to bear
he wonders of freedom
does anyone really care
he sees his fathers
proud glowing face
another fighting soldier
who proudly kept his pace...
