Courageous Soldier

It was a horrible day when it all begun
It was a dark stormy day in 2001
They said good-bye
As they carried their guns
All of the family’s cried
Praying for their daughters and sons
We tried to go on
And live normal lives
But the fact that ya’ll could be gone
Made it impossible not to cry
We prayed for you as you fought
As you try to remember everything taught
One day we got a message
That many had died
It all got way too serious
As we tried not to cry
I felt so guilty
If your not breathing and I am
I felt selfish
If your not living and I am
You’re out there risking your lives
So we could be alive
Some people don’t even care
But I don’t take life for granted
Knowing you’re fighting out there
Now that you’re gone
There was no time to thank you
For everything you’ve done
You sacrificed your life
So that we could be alive
You had so much courage and strength
And cant see how you did it
But you fought ‘til the end
The last time I saw you
I’ll never forget
The pain in everyone’s eyes
Really made me fret
As the American flag
Hung all around
They showed pictures of y’all
Lying on the ground
There were caskets everywhere
With flags on top
I was so mesmerized I couldn’t help but stare
You fought for our country
And you fought for me
I thought of it this way
So it would be easier to see
Everyone went to a casket
Where they new someone
My mother went to the casket that carried her son
My brother died for our country
So we could be here today
He died for a good cause
But I wish he was still here more than words can say
To you he’s just a dead soldier
To me, he’s my courageous older brother
We wanted so hard to cry
But he died for our country
It almost felt wrong to cry
I can’t even describe how much I’ll miss him
But when I grow up
And see his name in historical places
I’ll be proud of him
My brother’s life ended so my life could begin
In a peaceful world
Still filled with hatred and sin
