John Monteblanco Poet Lyric

If I Died Tonight (A Poem To Our Soldiers)

My life is mine but not mine alone.
I fly a supply ship to help my fellow comrades.
I risk my life for my country and my family.
It I died today - I know I did good in this world.
If my life is taken by twelve midnight tonight, all I regret is not seeing my little
girl's face.
As I fly towards my goal, my engine is shot down.
I haven't failed yet, but soon I will leave Earth with my head held high and knowing I did
good.

Andrea Dietrich November 25, 2010 at 9:33 PM ok, now this helps me see a little more clearly why you wrote as you did in that other poem. I really like how you expressed how you would feel if you died tonight. YOu may have arleady told me this, but I can't keep people straight. ARe you the one I commented to recently who is in the mideast right now? Well, in any even, a big Happy end of Thanksgiving to you. LUv, Andrea
