In Memory

I never met you, you never met me
I'm sorry you died for our country

You were so young and naive
Made to be all you could be

"Buck Up and fight like a man"
Was the great battle plan

Do not show your fear for you are weak
Only eighteen years old and meek

Fresh out of high school no job in sight
Join the military and learn how to fight

Taken away to a faraway land
Someone else's life in your hands

Afraid to close your eyes afraid to stay awake
Fearful of every move or sound you make

You say a prayer that you'll make it alright
Just you and God, one on one all night

"Please protect my brothers as they protect me"
"I am not afraid to die for my country"

"Tell my family I love them and forever they will be"
"Living in the land that I helped to make free"

I lace up my boots and pick up my gun
Ready for another long days run

I see all the faces of the young there with me
I am proud to serve in my country's military
just a random poem I wrote not even sure if it makes sense or not.
