Never Give Up

by Rich   May 23, 2006


Face of wonder, face of pain
Another soul lost but I feel no shame
His life or mine, a wicked game
I watched him die, and knew not his name

We came to help and to set them free
To give up our life if only to see
Freedom for all and freedom to be
I beg for God's mercy on bended knee

Why are we here, what is to gain
Each day is Hell, it is always the same
We do it for country and not for fame
Until our mission is done, we will remain

To my brothers fighting to help keep us free.

I served in Iraq and lost seveal good friends. All of us would gladly give up our life for each other. They are friends like no other. God Bless them.

    Very strong. Very meaningful. It's beautiful, as usual.
