Best Warbrother Poems


War Child

Little girl, trying to sleep in your bed
don’t listen to the sound of the bombs nearby
just close your eyes and try not to cry
and let your brother sing you a lullaby.


And don’t listen to the noise of the guns
as the bullets flash by your door, don’t cry
just think of the peace found in sleep
while your brother sings you a lullaby.


Little girl, as you sleep in your bed 
when you dream, try not to dream of the day
when soldiers came with their guns
and took your father away.


And when you wake up to a new day
looking for the sun, through the dust and smoke
try to find some hope in that terrible place
as you and your brother strive to cope.


Little girl, war is the world of grown ups
and there is nothing you can do
even if you tell them of your fear and sorrow
no one will listen to you.

Hero

Days go by
And I wonder why
Why the sky's sunset wheeps tonight
A strong soldier overseas has lost his fight
The crushing sounds of screams
The soldier has his fellow brother dead at his feet
He picks up his brother to take him home
You see this soldier can not leave his brother all alone
The bullets fly through the air
But the soldier is fearless and he will never give up, he wouldn't dare
The sign of safety and freedom is just over the hill
He'd risk everything to carry his fellow brother home even the risk of being killed
This soldier is a hero in the eyes of all
What would of happened if he never took the call
The call to duty to fight without fear and to protect
The heroism and determination in this soldier deserves total respect
The sun will rise in the morning and this soldier will be alive
But this soldier and man of God will still be dead inside
He still has night terrors of losing his brother on the battlefield
There is no greater pain then witnessing someone close to you get killed
But no matter what happens, in my heart this soldier will always be a hero to me
He will always be family and I will truly always idol thee
You see, he was the one carrying my uncle home to me
At the funeral the guns shoot in the sky
And now i no longer need to wonder why
As the tears run down my eyes
I realize that I am the lucky one to have my uncle home after he has won his fight
He has a won his fight to heaven
I would of never got to see my uncle if it wasn't for his fellow Lieutenant

Black Rain

As I stand out side in the pouring black rain
Off go the soldiers marching the same
Splashing their black boots in puddles that day
As I watch my daddy as he goes away

I scream his name as I wave good bye
Momma held brother and began to cry
Daddy looks back and waves with a whisper, good by my little angel I love you.
As families say good bye to their loved ones I say daddy I love you too

 As the soldiers march on through black rain
Cherishing the last moments hiding their pain
As the rain falls into night
I watch my daddy and I can’t see him in sight

As the eagle soars through the sky
Watching the days go by and by
Our flag still stands for freedom
Home will remain our kingdom

As black rain falls in the fields 
Soldiers fighting holding up their shields
Brave men risking their lives 
Can’t wait to get home to their children and their wives

Black rain rolling down daddy’s face
Moving through battle with steady pace
When battle was over and men were dead
Soldiers came home and tears were shed

As I run to my daddy, the warmth of his embrace
I missed you daddy.  I love you grace
Momma ran out with brother in hand
Jumped into daddy’s arms, there we stand

But remember our soldiers 
Fighting brave like warriors 
Families love and hope is their only gain
These are our soldiers in black rain.
