Purple Heart

A great warrior he was at only eighteen During a war that was overseas Wounded in battle shot in his head Laid there for hours he was almost dead A Purple Heart he received for his wounds No medal in this world could save his mind Not even over time and In his coffin he laid Where I placed his purple heart for the last time Contest Name: Purple Sponsored by: Kevin Shaw Date Written: 01/17/2019 Judged N/A
