SACRIFICE

Raise your hand and repeat after me
The commercial said you would be all you could be
You will travel and definitely see the world
In your fatigues and standing tall
In a firefight with your back against the wall
Your buddies scream as bullets fly
Black hawks firing rockets from the sky
Hit the dirt as the explosions began
Dug in deep upon the sand
When the smoke clears you look around
Slowly your buddies get off the ground
All accept one who does move
He was so young and felt like he had something to prove
He sacrificed himself to protect someone
Hid the young from a machine gun
Soldiers cross for his sacrifice
We will never forget, he gave his life
Soldiers sacrifice each and everyday
We should thank them each and every day

ken d williams The PoetBay support member heart!
A member of the milatory
In combat - those he or she
The resans why they are in combat
Faide - away
They look out fore each other
Watch each others backs
Give their own lifes
So at least one will see one more sunrise - one more sunset
A good work - so good I were moved to type - what I thort of as I read your work.
