Inspired By My Friend Gershon

Sacrifice and Blood

War comes to often and blood flows
Death and destruction
Are only seen by those who sacrifice
One I knew we were brothers in battle

Wounded in the head and left for dead
Yet one brave solider risked his life
With bullets flying he ran to his side
Dragging him to safety

Dead the doctors thought
But yet saved his life
If bravery had another definition it would be called
Love   

Dedicated to my brother the one shot in the head
