This is dedicated to all of our servicemen and women overseas. |
The song Brother to Brother by Van Zant inspired this poem It is dedicated to all of our friends and family serving over seas There is a brotherhood A brotherhood that can only be forged Through serving your country proud The brothers of our country We are made up of many different Ways of life and cultures Joining up is like being reborn You come to boot camp an infant You are at the bottom of the ladder The drill instructor makes you all the same As the six weeks pass You go through a self-rebirth The Armed Forces is your family now All of the guys next to you are your brothers for life Bang Bang Bang The sounds of M16s going off around you “I’m hit I’m hit” rings in your ears He is from another unit Do you risk your life for a man you hardly know? Bullets flying past you Anyone of them could easily be your ticket out You run up and haul him back to the line This man you have never met in your life It takes a special person A special man to selflessly save a complete stranger What is a brother? A brother is a special person who will risk his life For anyone This and all of my poems are availaible for retail sale at http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=1372610 |
