Risking It All

Young and eager to defend Our country till the very end Buzzcuts uniforms and nerves Training that will help them swerve From the danger they will face In a far off scary place Away from everyone they love Praying nightly to above They are safe from all the danger Families made with other strangers In their squad team and platoon Sometimes it is way too soon To see a teammate lose their life It cuts deeply like a knife Inside your heart it's really bad To know it gets worse and it's sad Realizing you could be The next In someone's memory Because an enemy attack Will never let you return back To your loving family A situation that will be Remembered till the end of time War is such a deadly crime
