WHAT YOU DONT KNOW CAN HURT THE SPIRT

by Erica Joelene   Aug 29, 2006


For everything they say...
we must still fight and defend!
for everything we see...
It will for ever haunt us...
We sit in the deserts, the seas
the air and yet people rarely see...
we protect their lives... their family and friends we\'re the ones
risking it all to defend this great
beautiful country of ours....
but do they realize we suffer...
at night in the darkness...
we heard babies cry...
we watched the people die on the streets and yet....
we\'re the ones who suffer...
we suffer because we care...
we suffer when we see it is someone else baby crying and we wish we could just hold our own baby for the night.
we\'re haunted by the sight of someone dieing on the street we think that would never happen in AMERICA....
we think that could of been me or someone i know or love...
we think wrong because we don\'t want to believe the evil is out there...
we.. we are the ones fighting for you...
we are the soldiers... that you never truly see....
we are the ones that will stand tall as we cry ourselves to sleep!
