PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As I stand here
crying over another fallen solider
I think to myself, the world just lost another soul
a soul
that was pure and sweet
a son
who made his parents proud everyday
a brother
that always seemed to be there even if he wasn't
a friend
who would drop everything to help out a friend in need
a husband
who loved his wife without fault every minute of everyday
a warrior
who, no matter how frightened, would ever show fear
a fighter
who proudly fought to defend his country
Today the world lost a wonderful, all around great person
Today the world lost a hero
a hero
who fought proudly along side his brothers at war
who gave everything he had to defend our freedom
Today the world lost a solider
but the heavens gained an angel
who flew to join his fallen brothers
at the golden gates.
