An American Soldier

I am an American Soldier 
In the Special Forces, of woes 
My Duty in Iraq, gives me such fear 
Yet, I stand in the midst of my Foes 
I live and I sleep, on the Battlefield 
I dream of my family, back home 
I wake up with bullets around me 
Open Wounds and many Broken Bones. 

They say, that I’m fighting for Freedom 
I should stand tall and not cry, with fear 
But the pain that I see, all around me 
Makes me question the Freedom, we give 
For the ones whose Freedom, we’re fighting for 
Is not wanted, when we’re Spilling the Blood 
So, why do we fight for a freedom? 
When it is not welcomed, with the enemies Love. 

Yes, I’ll stand and fight for their Freedom 
I will still give my Life for their Right 
To live in a Land where Freedom should ring 
Without Harm, Evil or Plight 
I may not have all of the answers 
For others to see and accept 
I only know that I want to go home 
Be at peace with my Duty, Then Rest.

Winters Snow

She is so gentle, like a feather in Winter 
Covering the Creation, like a Blanket of Love 
Her touch like a dewdrop, blankets the flowers 
Her message of Purity, sounds like a Dove. 

She carries a message, like virgins in hiding 
That Whispers sweet nothings, into one's ear 
Untouched by the stillness, of covering light flames 
Her Beauty will linger, till she feels the rain. 

She is a Diamond, that glitters in Darkness 
She's pure in perfection, with gentle heart songs 
She fills up our spirit, with warmth like the sunshine 
She sings out our Dreams, like a Bird singing Songs.
