War

Young men and women

Out there for our country

And no other reason

Fighting for our freedom

Day in and day out

Shaking and praying

The sniper’s gun is off sight

When he tries to end their lives

In the sweltering desert of Iraq

With one wrong step anywhere

Landing them in a better place

Their unselfish acts of courage

Trying to make tomorrow

A better place than today.
