Why did you join when you did?
You knew what would happen!
We tried so hard to talk you out of it.
But no you wouldn't listen you just wanted to fallow dads steps.
Now you leave in April and you got everyone scared to death and sad.
We don't want you to leave but we have no choice because you have let the military own you.
I am still crying everyday wishing that you would have never joined!
I will pray for you every day until i get the phone call that your coming home!
I wrote this for my big brother! he has just left for Iraq! its not the best poem i have written but i had to write it to get it out.
