THE YOUNG MARINE
Some time ago
I had a chance
to spend time with
and get to know
the thoughts of
a young marine
he was a cut up
always had a smile
and one that would
knock you out
he got better looking each day
just ask him about it
I know it will laugh then say
"yeah, it's so... I do don't you think?"
he is honest sometimes too much so
he can look mean when you see a picture
jaw tight, eyes that can look right through
coldness from a stare
one that can take your breath
but then the smile
can melt even the hard of hearts
the warmth this young marine
can show to his family
can bring a tear to ones eye
I have watched as time goes on
all the trials and tribulations
he has faced and dealt with
he has turned out to be a hell of a man
and this is something that makes me proud
for you see this young marine is my brother
