Two years ago
You took our security
Never had we fathomed
Taking my brother with you
He is now fighting for our freedom
In a land he shouldn't be
Cursing thanks for
The disentary
I pray everyday
For his safe return
As all soldiers fight in foreign lands
As they lead
A new path
To our freedom
God bless you Derek, I love you!

It's always hard when a loved one has to go away. This is a beautiful poem.
