Soldier <3
June 9, 2011
Bombs are falling as they
March into battle
It is hot in the desert
But they keep moving
The sun gleaming down on them,
Retreats
Soon the moon will say
Hello
So many told them it would be dangerous,
That they shouldn’t join
But they knew
Their country needed them
So here they are
Standing on the front line
Doing what’s right,
Defending their country
Scared?
Confident?
Of course,
They are both,
Maybe more scared than confident
But they will not run
They will defend
Till the
End

this is great i know where she comes from and hope that she realizes that her dad is a hero and should be treated as such in real life and not just in writing. Though i love this poem and it is a great contribution to everone going through the same as her!! cant wait for more from this artist!!
