I Died for my Country

When I was a little child
I told my Daddy my dream
It was more of a fanticy
Reality wasn't what it seemed
I wanted to go over seas
And make freedom at last
Making pain history
And making suffering gone passed
When I grew up
I joined the forces
I got my uniform and equipment
Still I had to take special courses
I was called for duty
To go into War
Telling and leaving my family
Was all the pain I could bare and more
I wanted to make my family so proud
I wanted them to be proud of their last name
I wanted them to say,"That's my relative.
The one having no shame."
Leaving them was the worst
Because everything could go wrong
I just kept reminding myself
My heart will always belong
I had to wipe the tears from my mother's face
And whisper,"everythings going to be okay."
As I gave her a big kiss on the cheek
I said,"I'll see you another day."
My father looked me in the eyes
As he was standing tall
So I said,"I love you,Dad.
Just please don't worry at all."
I,then,cried for my wife/husband
Whom I was leaving behind
I told her/him
"You'll always be in my mind."
I,then,turned to my child
Who was wearing red, white, and blue
Waving the flag he/she said,"No,please don't go.
I'm going to miss you."
I burst into tears
Not knowing what the future will hold
I just knew
I had to be bold
Seeing the first bomb explode
I knew this was no longer a fanticy
For the things I was seeing was horrible
So I just prayed for my family
All of a sudden I was shot from a gun
The bullet piercing through my soul
Right then and there
My life was stole
I cried for my wife/husband
I cried for my brother
I cried for my child
I cried for my mother
I cried for my father
I cried for my friends
I cried because I told them all
I would come back in the end
I cried for my sister
Even though I knew I was going to see her in a bit
I just wished I didn't have to die
The way my body was hit
I cried for those in uniform
Who didn't come with me
It was the day I
Died for my Country
